The aim of this study was to assess the level and factors associated with caregivers’ disclosure of perinatally HIV-infected (PHIV+) children’s seropositive status
Perspectives
Disclosing HIV status as early as is very important because these children/Adolescents may be engaged in sexual activities in later age and can be transmitting the infection to others as well as they are also can be exposed to other serotypes. Early disclosure has the potential to adherence to treatments and also accept the condition.
