Abstract
An investigation into the experiences of adolescents taking antiretroviral from birth in Kwazulu -Natal
THEME 1: Promoting stakeholder partnerships that protect, support and enhance resilience during adverse events and trauma
SUB 1.2 The protection of physical and psychological health and wellbeing of children, people with disabilities, and older people through fostering safe, sustainable, and inclusive living spaces
Oral Presentation
The devastating impact of HIV/AIDS in South Africa led to a breakdown of families with parents dying, children being orphaned and many living in child-headed households. Following vertical transmission of HIV, adolescents who were initiated on ART from birth face adherence challenges. A desktop methodology was used to investigate the secondary data systematically using journal articles, websites, StatsSA, Caprisa and departmental reports. Readily available information to the public was attained to provide the caregivers living in rural areas with facts to increase understanding of their adolescent children, HIV and chronic treatment through public platforms. Findings suggest that while adolescents navigate growth, relationships, intimacy and disclosure, their adherence is affected. The gap identified was that the multidisciplinary teams are addressing the holistic client needs, but there is an unequal distribution of resources between rural and urban areas. The findings will be included in interventions that have a central focus on parenting.
