Effects of intimate partner violence and homophobic bullying on ART adherence among young Thai men who have sex with men: a causal mediation analysis
The results suggest that tailored interventions to optimize ART adherence should address the impact of intimate partner violence and homophobic bullying among YMSM living with HIV. Screening and subsequent treatment of depression alone may not be sufficient to address the effects of intimate partner violence, homophobic bullying, and possibly other MSM-specific psychosocial stressors on ART adherence.
