Prevalence, correlates and solutions to people with HIV in China being refused treatment for diseases not related to HIV: a mixed‐methods study

Systematic interventions involving all stakeholders, particularly legal protections against discrimination by HIV status, should be implemented to reduce treatment refusal.
