Factors influencing adherence to antiretroviral therapy among young adults in Limpopo province

Adherence to ART is a major problem in our communities, and people living with HIV are still finding it challenging to optimally adhere to their ART medication because of the identified factors that influence ART adherence. Family support is a significant factor that was identified to positively influence ART as it leads to disclosure and acceptance of HIV-positive status, better emotional well-being and subsequently improved ART adherence.Contribution: This study underscores the importance of a family-oriented, patient-centred care approach in managing HIV and ART adherence.

Abstract

Adherence to ART is a major problem in our communities, and people living with HIV are still finding it challenging to optimally adhere to their ART medication because of the identified factors that influence ART adherence. Family support is a significant factor that was identified to positively influence ART as it leads to disclosure and acceptance of HIV-positive status, better emotional well-being and subsequently improved ART adherence.Contribution: This study underscores the importance of a family-oriented, patient-centred care approach in managing HIV and ART adherence.
