Older adults are at higher risk of late diagnosis which is associated with higher treatment complexity and poorer health outcomes. Few studies in the Asia-Pacific region have explored factors contributing to late presentation and diagnosis in this population. Thus, our study aimed to explore factors influencing late HIV diagnosis among older adults ≥50 years …
When do persuasive messages on vaccine safety steer Covid-19 vaccine acceptance and recommendations? Behavioural insights from a randomised controlled experiment in Malaysia
