Seeking Healing for a Mental Illness
An exploratory qualitative study of the psychological effects of HIV diagnosis; the need for early involvement of mental health professionals to improve linkage to care
The initial reaction to the diagnosis of HIV in this LMIC context has the potential to impact linkage to care negatively and, thus, the attainment of the global 95-95-95 targets. It is, therefore, essential that mental health and psychological support services are integrated with testing services to manage the initial reactions and support individuals to improve early linkage to care and thus improve overall outcomes for the infected individual a…
