 The results of this study suggest that knowledge of one's HIV status is associated with better adherence to antiretroviral therapy, art, among adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa. Specifically, adolescents who know they have HIV are more likely to take their medication regularly than those who do not. Additionally, the study found that adolescents who are aware of their HIV status are more likely to be adherent to art if they are older or if the study controls for confounding factors such as socioeconomic status.
