Background: The benefits of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) include immune system strengthening, viral load suppression, and improved health-related quality of life (HRQOL). This present study compares the HRQOL of PLHIV visiting ART clinics versus that of PLHIV attending traditional healers (THs)' offices, assesses the adherence of PLHIV to ART, identifies possible predictors of nonadherence of PLHIV to ART and HRQOL, and estimates the proportion of patients with HIV referred by THs to health centers in Bukavu.
Patients And Methods: Between February and June 2023, a cross-sectional comparative study was conducted on 150 adult PLHIV attending ART clinics and 150 adult PLHIV visiting THs' offices in the 3 urban health zones of Bukavu.
