Intimate partner violence and other forms of violence are said to impede adolescents and young adults living with HIV from accessing antiretroviral (ARV) treatment
Intimate partner violence and other forms of violence are said to impede adolescents and young adults living with HIV from accessing antiretroviral treatment., led by the University of Cape Town’s PhD candidate Siyanai Zhou and Professor Lucie Cluver.
Zhou said their findings and subsequent work to address this challenge would also help South Africa reach the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/Aids 95-95-95 targets, which aim to diagnose 95% of people living with HIV, treat 95% of those infected, and attain a viral load suppression in 95% for those on treatment, and to ensure a significant reduction in HIV infections worldwide by 2030.
Zhou said they discovered that a history of IPV and sexual abuse were directly associated with poor adherence to HIV treatment among adolescents living with HIV in the country.
