Data were obtained from a cross-sectional sample of 2082 HIV positive adults between September 2009 and January 2011 from sites in Canada, China, Namibia, P…

  • Associations between the legal context of HIV, perceived social capital, and HIV antiretroviral adherence in North America

    Open AccessJ Craig Phillips, Allison R Webel et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

These advantages, however, will have limited benefit for adherence to treatments without also addressing the social and structural challenges that allow HIV to continue to spread among society's most vulnerable populations

This short report describes two international multi-site st…
