Social, economic and food insecurity among people living with HIV in Kenya during coinciding public health and environmental emergencies: a mixed-methods study
In the context of coinciding public health and environmental emergencies, people living with HIV in Kenya experienced widespread food insecurity. Programmatic efforts to support HIV treatment disbursement, coverage and adherence alone are not sufficient during an economic crisis affecting food insecurity. Integrating antiretroviral therapy (ART) dispensing efforts alongside interventions to support food security for people living with HIV could improve ART adherence and reduce mortality during widespread emergencies.
