‘Doing what I need to do’: sustaining mental health, medication adherence, and engagement in care among Black women living with HIV during the COVID-19 onset of 2020
Our findings indicate that in the context of COVID-19 stay-at-home orders BWLWH were moderately impacted, shared concerns and mental health symptoms, and voiced the shortfalls of medical providers. Further, BWLWH exhibited resilience with regard to medication adherence and the use of adaptive coping strategies while echoing the need for additional resources and structural interventions.
