HIV SEROCONVERSION IN SERODISCORDANT COUPLES: INSIGHTS FROM A MALAYSIAN CONTEXT SEROCONVERSION
Keywords:
Abstract
Serodiscordant couples, where one partner is HIV-positive and the other is HIV-negative, face unique challenges and risks in terms of HIV transmission and seroconversion. This study aims to provide insights into HIV seroconversion in serodiscordant couples within the context of Malaysia. A retrospective analysis was conducted, utilizing data from medical records and interviews with serodiscordant couples attending HIV clinics in Malaysia. The study examines the factors associated with HIV seroconversion, including sexual behaviors, adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), and access to preventive measures. The findings shed light on the challenges faced by serodiscordant couples in Malaysia and provide valuable information for the development of targeted interventions and support services.
