INTRODUCTION: in Cameroon, multi-month dispensing (MMD) of antiretrovirals (ARVs) was introduced to improve treatment adherence among people living with HIV (PLHIV). However, this strategy has limitations that may lead to viral load rebound. The purp...
BACKGROUND: Stigma associated with HIV/AIDS continues to be a major barrier to prevention, management, and care. HIV stigma can negatively influence health behaviors. Surveys of the general public in Japan also demonstrated substantial gaps in knowle...
