Misunderstandings in care and treatment lead to inaccurate reports among PLWH in S. Africa
Research Read
Among adults living with HIV in South Africa, antiretrovirals were detected among 18% of those reporting a HIV-negative status and 18% of those reporting not being on antiretroviral therapy. Misunderstandings about care and treatment (HIV test vs. CD4 and viral load testing) and data entry errors contributed to reporting inaccuracies. (C. Campbell, E. Agnew, H. Gilmore, S. Shade, & S.
