We did not find any significant associations between disclosure and WHO clinical staging, CD4 count, complications reported (e.g. running out of medication, flavour, forgetting, multiple caregivers, illness, depression and being away from home), side effects (e.g. fever, rash, sleep disturbance and pain), default on treatment in the past and subsequently restarted, number of medicines in regimen or adherence defined by pill count (95% – 105%) (Table 3). The gene discussed is CD4; the disease is major depressive disorder.
