Abstract

Low adherence to ARV treatment in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) can lead to drug resistance, increased transmission, and worsen the condition of PLWHA due to insufficient HIV suppression in the body, ultimately increasing HIV-related mortality. Therefore, adherence to ARV treatment is crucial. This study aims to explore the social support among PLWHA and its impact on ARV treatment adherence. The databases used include Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, ResearchGate, Elsevier, and PubMed, based on articles published in the last 8 years, primary research articles, and written in Indonesian or English, with the research conducted in Indonesia. The literature review of 14 articles indicates that social support among PLWHA can significantly affect adherence to ARV treatment in Indonesia. In conclusion, PLWHA is more likely to adhere to ARV treatment with adequate social support from fellow PLWHA.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of HIV/AIDS continues to pose a significant global health challenge, with developing countries experiencing the fastest growth in transmission rates, including Indonesia. This quantitative correlational study examined the influence of HIV/AIDS-related health literacy on adherence to antiretroviral (ARV) therapy among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), with peer social support considered as a moderating variable. Participants included 208 PLWHA residing in Majalengka Regency, West Java, Indonesia. Data were gathered using standardized instruments measuring HIV/AIDS health literacy, treatment adherence, and peer social support, and were analyzed through moderation analysis using Jamovi software. The results demonstrated that HIV/AIDS health literacy had a significant positive effect on ARV adherence, and that peer social support strengthened this relationship. Nonetheless, the study is limited by its cross-sectional design and reliance on self-reported measures, which may restrict causal inference and generalizability.
