Current interventions to address adherence to ART are mostly bio-medical in nature, and support the presumption that individual-level factors are the most pertinent barriers to adherence to ART. This mini-thesis presents findings from a qualitative study that explored individual, health systems and structural factors that shape experiences of adherence to ART amongst gay men and other MSM and a subset within this group who are PWIDenAnti-retroviral treatmentGay menHealth care workerAdherencePeople who inject drugUniversity of Western Cape
