By Watipaso Mzungu The number of adolescents and young people living with HIV and Aids accessing antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) in public hospitals has dropped due to fear of contracting coronavirus disease (Covid-19), a latest report has said. The National Association for Young People Living with HIV (NAYPLHIV) undertook the study to appreciate how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the social and economic livelihoods of adolescents and young people living with HIV in Malawi. The study was conducted in 10 districts, namely; Blantyre, Chiradzulu, Lilongwe, Karonga, Nkhatabay, Mzimba, Mzuzu, Salima, Machinga and Zomba. The study established that the Covid-19 crisis has created fear among many Malawians, including adolescents and young people living with HIV, to the extent that majority of them stopped visiting health facilities to access their life-prolonging drugs.
