Promoting adherence to HIV care among persons with HIV (PWH) is a key component to addressing the rising HIV epidemic in the Philippines. HIV care adherence is a complex process that may change throughout an individual's life course or "journey" living with HIV. This qualitative study aimed to explore the HIV care adherence journey of PWH. Maximum variation sampling was used to select 12 PWH and 3 health care providers for in-depth online interviews, which were analyzed using thematic analysis. The four themes that emerged to describe the HIV care adherence journey are integration, relation, navigation, and manifestation. Each theme corresponds to a unique set of activities and goals related to PWH's lived experiences as they initiate, practice, and maintain care adherence. This study provides a preliminary framework to characterize the HIV care adherence journey as a dynamic, complex, and multifaceted phenomenon, which can help to inform holistic interventions to support PWH.
促进艾滋病毒感染者（PLHIV）坚持接受艾滋病毒护理是解决菲律宾艾滋病毒疫情上升的关键组成部分。艾滋病毒护理依从性是一个复杂的过程，可能会在个体的整个生命过程或“旅程”中发生变化。本定性研究旨在探索 PLHIV 的艾滋病毒护理依从性旅程。采用最大变异抽样选择了 12 名 PLHIV 和 3 名医疗保健提供者进行深入的在线访谈，采用主题分析进行分析。出现的四个主题描述了艾滋病毒护理依从性旅程，分别是整合、关系、导航和表现。每个主题都对应着一组独特的活动和目标，与 PLHIV 开始、实践和维持护理依从性的生活经历有关。本研究提供了一个初步框架来描述艾滋病毒护理依从性旅程，这是一个动态、复杂和多方面的现象，可以帮助制定全面的干预措施来支持 PLHIV。
