Distinct forms of migration and mobility are differentially associated with HIV treatment adherence

Conclusion: We found that localized/intra-district migration and nonwork travel—more common among women—were associated with lower adherence, potentially reflecting care interruptions or staying with family/friends unaware of the participants’ status. In contrast, short work-related trips—more common among men—were associated with higher adherence, perhaps reflecting higher income. Adherence interventions may require tailoring by sex and forms of mobility.
