HIV Care Disengagement and Antiretroviral Treatment Discontinuation in Mexico: A Qualitative Study Based on the Ecological Model Among Men Who Have Sex With Men

“…As such, opportunities to prevent or treat opportunistic infections, or to offer psychological support, are missed (World Health Organization, 2016). In Mexico, previous studies have mainly focused on ART discontinuation (Gutiérrez-Gabriel et al, 2019; Pérez-Rodríguez et al, 2016; Pérez-Salgado et al, 2017). Instead, this study distinguished factors that led to HIV care disengagement in the first place—which precludes ART intake—and factors that lead to ART discontinuation, which are inherent to the medicine itself.…”

“…In 2018, the government reported that 24% of men living with HIV were disengaged from care after 1 year (Censida, 2018a). However, to the best of our knowledge, previous Mexican studies have explored the discontinuation of ART, but not the disengagement from HIV care itself (Gutiérrez-Gabriel et al, 2019; Pérez-Rodríguez et al, 2016; Pérez-Salgado et al, 2017). HIV care disengagement might occur before discontinuation of ART due to factors such as service provision or social barriers, as opposed to factors related to the medication itself.…”
