Findings
Ten men and eleven women, with an age range of 18 – 70 years old (median age of 35 years) were included in the analysis. Fifteen participants self-reported that they were ‘adherent to ART’; i.e., regularly attended scheduled appointments with health providers, taking ART as prescribed, but would occasionally miss the dose of ART. Six participants reported that they were not consistently accessing or adhering to ART at the time of the interviews, i.e., that they were often not able to access ART at public health facilities or they were unable to take ART consistently even if they were able to fill their prescriptions.

Three families were tenants renting space in the backyards of RDP houses owned by other individuals. Their backyard informal houses were constructed mostly with zinc and wood. The remaining two families lived in informal housing units, not connected to other formal structures. The average number of occupants on these households was 4, and their relations with one another were complex in that most households were main family houses. People lived with their relatives such as cousins, aunts, nephews, and in-laws. In South Africa, 55% of people live below the poverty line and it is estimated that 14% of residents live in informal settlements which are lower socio-economic status communities [
