Study Participants
HIV patients attending the Forearms of Change Center were invited to participate in this study. One researcher identified potential participants that met the inclusion/exclusion criteria and explained the study objectives and procedure. The inclusion criteria were: patient’s ≥18 years old, HIV positive and receiving ART. Patients who were on ART for less than six months and non-Jordanian residents/citizens were excluded from the study. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants and they were informed that their participation is voluntary, and they can withdraw at any time. Participants were given alphanumeric code to refer to interviewees’ identification and ensure anonymity in the study. For example, the alphanumeric code P1F35 indicates that the participant number 1 is a 35 years old female.
