Longitudinal Associations Between Internalized HIV Stigma and Lower HIV Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence Among People With HIV
Our study demonstrates that IHS has a direct association with reductions in ART adherence, which could affect other comorbid health outcomes that are influenced by unsuppressed viremia over time. Developing a thorough understanding of the mechanisms through which IHS affects ART adherence is critical for developing interventions to mitigate IHS and improve health outcomes across the lifespan.
