Article Synopsis
- HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) significantly affects adults living with HIV, but their personal experiences and coping strategies remain underexplored.
- A study involving 25 participants revealed that individuals with HAND face fluctuating difficulties with concentration, memory, and multitasking, and often struggle to discuss these issues with healthcare providers.
- Despite the challenges, participants found value in receiving a HAND diagnosis, seeing it as a source of validation, and emphasized the need for improved communication and support from healthcare professionals.
