Globally, adolescent currently the only age group in which AIDS-related deaths are not decreasing, even among those who have initiated ART. Similarly, low treatment adherence and high treatment failure have also been reported among adolescents. Coupled with low levels of comprehensive and correct HIV knowledge, it is important to understand the interplay between the lived situations of adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) and ART adherence in order to promote well-being. This study explored communication between ALHIV 15-19 years and their caregivers on ART adherence related issues. Communication about sexual health has been shown to have a protective influence on behaviour. Results showed that there was sufficient communication between ALHIV and their caregivers though with very limited content on ART adherence-related issues.
