Interaction between managing household income and ART adherence
We found diversity in how household income interacted with the ability of PLHIV to access and adhere to HIV treatment. PLHIV reported that, due to changes in social and economic circumstances often occurring over time, including changes in employment, household composition, and social support structures, they struggled to consistently access and adhere to treatment. We found three ways in which the management of household income interacted with ART access and adherence i.e., (a) the diverting of resources towards substance use activities, (b) the sharing of household resources to support HIV-related care and, (c) prioritising household costs at the expense of ART adherence.
