Adherence to antiretroviral therapy and retention in care for adolescents living with HIV from 10 districts in Uganda

Abstract

Adherence to ART was good among adolescents. Being in rural areas was associated with poor adherence to ART and 1 year retention in care was very good among adolescents who were newly started on ART. Stigma and disclosure issues continue to be the main barriers to adherence among adolescents.
