Adaptive Stigma Coping Among Papuans Living with HIV: a Qualitative Study in One of the Indigenous People, Indonesia.

This study indicates that ART has been used to cope with stigma. However, the use was temporary since the misunderstanding regarding use of ART remains high. ART education should be addressed since Papuans are willing to adopt the method provided the benefits are fully comprehended. In addition, the participation of healthcare workers such as pharmacies should be increased since they can explain antiretroviral terms.
