Seifadin Ahmed ShalloMesfin TassewPublished in: Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare (2020)
This finding reveals that HIV status disclosure is generally low, and the decision to disclose or not is affected by factors like child-related, caregivers, and health institution-related factors. This may affect the child's drug adherence, treatment outcome, and disease transmission. Updating health care providers' knowledge and skills and working on caregivers' attitude are needed to manage disclosure and challenges following it.
