Implication

Phenomenological study reveals positive acceptability of a digital adherence tool among YPLHIV, indicating the need for context-tailored solutions.

Key Points

  • The digital adherence tool was generally acceptable among young people living with HIV in Malawi, enhancing medication adherence.
  • Participants noted that the intervention's portable design and customised feedback helped address forgetfulness and encouraged routine ART use.
  • Barriers to adherence included electricity access, stigma, and social insecurities, which affected the tool's overall utility.
  • Further customising the intervention to the socio-cultural context can improve its effectiveness and increase adherence rates.
