| Abstract: | Background Successful antiretroviral treatment is dependent on sustaining high rates of adherence. In the southern African context, only
a handful of studies (both quantitative and qualitative) have looked at the determinants including a health behaviour theory
of adherence to antiretroviral therapy. The aim of this study is to assess factors including the information, motivation and
behavioural skills model (IMB) contributing to antiretroviral (ARV) adherence six months after commencing ARVs at three public
hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. |
