The magnitude of ART non-adherence and its associated determinants among patients receiving HIV care at Kibungo Referral Hospital in Eastern Rwanda is examined.
Abstract
Consistent use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is essential for achieving viral suppression, enhancing well-being, and lowering illness and death among individuals living with HIV. Although Rwanda has made significant strides toward meeting the UNAIDS 95-95-95 goals by providing universal access to free ART, gaps in adherence still hinder optimal treatment outcomes in certain groups. Exploring the behavioral, psychological, and health system-related factors that influence adherence is crucial for developing effective, targeted interventions. This study examined the magnitude of ART non-adherence and its associated determinants among patients receiving HIV care at Kibungo Referral Hospital in Eastern Rwanda.
Young people in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) bear a disproportionate burden of global HIV. Young people living with HIV/AIDS (YPLWHA) experience poorer treatment outcomes compared to adults. This study assessed the barriers that affect antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence among YPLWHA. This cross-sectional comparative su...

The findings support locally adapted strategies that reduce access barriers, strengthen patient-centred counselling and follow-up, and account for social and economic vulnerability, while recognising that the cross-sectional design does not establish causality.
