Abstract

Background: Discontinuation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) among people living with HIV (PLHIV) presents significant challenges for HIV care, often leading to physical deterioration, emotional distress, and social isolation. Although prior studies have addressed barriers to adherence, little is known about the experiences of PLHIV following treatment discontinuation in the Indonesian context. Objective: To explore the experiences of Indonesian PLHIV who have discontinued ART. Methods: This qualitative study employed a descriptive phenomenological approach and was conducted in three urban areas of Indonesia (Jakarta, Yogyakarta, and Bandar Lampung) between August and September 2024. Fifteen participants were purposively recruited from community-based organizations. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using Colaizzi’s method to identify themes and meanings in the narratives. Results: Three major themes emerged: (1) Physical and psychological consequences of ARV discontinuation, including fatigue, anxiety, and a sense of losing control; (2) Prolonged social strain and stigma, marked by loss of support and moral judgment from others; and (3) Searching for meaning and coping without treatment, including spiritual resignation and detachment from bodily control. These themes reflect the complex, multidimensional burdens PLHIV face after stopping treatment, particularly in the Indonesian context, where HIV stigma is deeply rooted in sociocultural and religious norms, and access to mental health support remains limited. Conclusion: ART discontinuation is not merely a clinical event but a deeply human experience shaped by physical decline, emotional conflict, social rejection, and existential adaptation. To improve long-term HIV care outcomes, healthcare systems must integrate psychosocial and spiritual support for individuals who disengage from treatment, encouraging re-engagement through nonjudgmental and person-centered care. For nursing practice, this study emphasizes the importance of developing empathetic communication, providing culturally sensitive counseling, and actively addressing stigma during care interactions.

Abstract

Background: People living with HIV–TB (PLHIV–TB) continue to experience persistent stigma, fear, guilt, and silence that shape their psychosocial wellbeing and social interactions. HIV–TB represents a double burden that intensifies stigma and moral judgment, particularly within sociocultural and religious contexts. However, the lived experiences of PLHIV–TB in Indonesia remain insufficiently explored, despite the country’s unique cultural and religious dynamics. Understanding these contextualized experiences is essential for strengthening holistic, culturally responsive, and stigma-sensitive HIV–TB care.Purpose: This study aimed to explore experiences of PLHIV-TB amid fear, guilt, and silence within the Indonesian sociocultural context.Methods: A descriptive phenomenological design was employed, with 20 PLHIV-TB purposively selected from Lampung, Palembang, Depok, and Yogyakarta between January and June 2025. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews lasting 45–70 minutes and analyzed using NVivo software with Colaizzi’s method. Trustworthiness was ensured through member checking, peer debriefing, and reflexivity.Results: Six themes captured the essence of participants’ experiences: (1) living under constant fear of exposure, (2) choosing silence as protection, (3) bearing the weight of guilt and moral judgment, (4) loneliness amid social disconnection, (5) struggling with faith and moral reconciliation, and (6) searching for meaning and self-acceptance. Participants’ narratives revealed a transformation from concealment and shame toward spiritual reconciliation and dignity through emotional and faith-based resilience.Conclusion: The lived experiences of people living with HIV–TB in Indonesia are shaped by intertwined dynamics of fear, guilt, and silence within a context of pervasive stigma. At the same time, some individuals demonstrate adaptive processes that reflect a complex journey from suffering to meaning-making and self-acceptance. These findings underscore the need for stigma-sensitive, psychosocial, and spiritually informed interventions to support holistic HIV–TB care.
