More about the book
The book explores the unique challenges faced by South African teenagers diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, particularly regarding adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART). It highlights the impact of adolescent brain development on essential skills like planning and organization, which are crucial for consistent medication intake. This "executive dysfunction" can result in missed doses, undermining treatment effectiveness. By examining the connection between brain development and medication adherence, the book aims to enhance HIV treatment outcomes for young individuals in South Africa.
