Factors associated with self-reported suboptimal antiretroviral adherence and limited retention in care among people living with HIV who attend a large ART clinic in Panama City, Panama
This study found high prevalence of suboptimal ART adherence and limited retention in care, especially among women; these factors were associated with severe depressive symptoms, as well as lifetime emotional and physical IPV. These results show the need for integrated mental health and IPV intervention for all individuals, including focused support for women.
