Declarations
:
: Permission to conduct the study was obtained from the Makerere University School of Health Science Research and Ethics committee (MAKSHSREC-2021-104) and the Uganda National Council for Science and Technology (HS1759ES). All participants gave written informed consent to participate. The consent was obtained at the time of their ART Refill. Any information shared about unpleasant experiences from previous experiences was discussed in an empathetic manner. As participants were aged 50 years and above, those who seemed emotionally affected by the recall of unpleasant experiences were counselled. Participants were assured that they were free to participate and that even if they declined, their decision would not affect the due care that they were entitled to.
