Impacts of Intimate Partner Violence and Sexual Abuse on Antiretroviral Adherence Among Adolescents Living With HIV in South Africa
Adolescents have challenges with consistent long term adherence to treatment (Figure 1), and they are exposed to some of the world’s highest rates of sexual violence.
We have very limited evidence that examines the impacts of sexual abuse and IPV on adolescent ART adherence.
In this study we aimed to assess the impact of sexual abuse and IPV on past-week ART adherence.
