South Africa has made incredible strides in fighting HIV/AIDS, but a hidden hurdle remains. Teenagers, often diagnosed during adolescence, face unique challenges sticking to their medication (ART). This is because adolescence coincides with a critical brain development stage, particularly in areas responsible for planning and organization – skills crucial for taking medication consistently.
