Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>About 500,000 people living with HIV in Mozambique have abandoned anti-retroviral treatment in the last two years, which is an estimated 25 percent of all HIV-positive people in the country.<\/p>\n

The data, which was made public on Tuesday in Maputo, is from a survey conducted by the National AIDS Council (CNCS) and its partners, entitled \u201cWhy did you stop?\u201d<\/p>\n

The research covered 39 districts in Cabo Delgado, Nampula, Sofala, Inhambane and Maputo provinces.<\/p>\n

The document notes external factors that contribute to abandoning treatment, such as work, side effects of the anti-retroviral drugs and disapproval by the partner. Other factors include socio-economic issues, discrimination and stigma.<\/p>\n

The CNCS Planning Unit Coordinator, Ema Chuva, explained that there is work being done in the communities with partners in order to rescue people who had given up on treatment and bring them back to the health units.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a work that is being successful. But clearly, we realize that it is not enough just to do the work, we need to be able to solve the reasons that made them stop\u201d, she added.<\/p>\n

For her part, researcher and head of the study, Marion dos Santos, left a set of recommendations from the research. \u201cWe had as recommendations to broadly discuss the concept of masculinity, and to improve the socio-economic situation of women, so that they don\u2019t become more dependent on their husbands\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n

Another recommendation is to look at people\u2019s mental and emotional health because it is one of the factors that contributes to low self-esteem and depression in infected people.<\/p>\n

Marion dos Santos also pointed out the continuous work within the communities to increase knowledge, through the dissemination of clear information about the importance of treatment for HIV-positive people.<\/p>\n

Mozambique currently has an estimated 2.1 million people living with HIV, a majority of them women, including about 130,000 children under the age of 15.<\/p>\n
