Assessing HIV treatment literacy among men living with HIV in Mozambique: a mixed-methods study to identify insights, gaps and impact from the ‘Somos Iguais’ campaign

While the study highlights a positive trend in HIV treatment literacy among MLHIV, it showed persistent stigmatising attitudes in the wider community. Investments to enhance knowledge and counter misconceptions about HIV treatment, especially among men not reached by the Somos Iguais campaign, are essential in expanding and sustaining the number of MLHIV virally suppressed on ART. Safeguarding patient confidentiality in clinics is imperative to encourage and sustain ART adherence.

Abstract

While the study highlights a positive trend in HIV treatment literacy among MLHIV, it showed persistent stigmatising attitudes in the wider community. Investments to enhance knowledge and counter misconceptions about HIV treatment, especially among men not reached by the Somos Iguais campaign, are essential in expanding and sustaining the number of MLHIV virally suppressed on ART. Safeguarding patient confidentiality in clinics is imperative to encourage and sustain ART adherence.
