Population mobility and retention in HIV care among postpartum women in South Africa (K01MH107256)
HIV-positive women in South Africa are at high risk of dropping out of HIV care soon after delivery, endangering the life of the mother and infant. The impact of population mobility around the time of delivery on retention in HIV care is unknown. This mentored K01 award will support training and research to explore the impact of population mobility on retention in postpartum HIV care and gather critical information for the development of future interventions to improve retention in HIV care.
