Abstract:
This study conducted to identify the factors which influence the antecedents of three key constructs of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) i.e. Attitude, Subjective Norms, and Perceived Behavioural Control towards adherence to Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART). An estimated 2.13 million people are living with HIV and around 1.49 million people are on ART in India in March 2021. To assess the adherence to ART and factors influence the behaviour of people living with HIV, a questionnaire was designed, personally administered and data was collected from 415 respondents living with HIV (PLHIV). The adherence to ART was measured on age, gender, education, and location with the help of a questionnaire. Correlation analyses with key construct of TpB were performed to analyse the data and key construct of TpB found influential by more independent variables like health consciousness, normative belief, compliance to normative belief, difficulty in access to ART facility, treatment and indirect cost at significant level.
