Disclosure of positive HIV status to sexual partners among young people receiving treatment at an urban clinic, Kampala, Uganda
This study revealed a low HIV status disclosure prevalence to sexual partners among YPLHIV. Addressing potential barriers through comprehensive health education including the role of viral load in HIV transmission, and creating supportive environments to enhance their confidence, will improve disclosure rates among YPLHIV to their sexual partners.
