AI-generated Abstract

South Africa faces a significant HIV epidemic, with a high mortality rate among HIV-infected children due to insufficient follow-up and care. The study examines the attitudes of nurses and caregivers towards routine HIV checks in primary healthcare settings. Findings highlight the absence of stigma from health workers, yet community stigma remains a challenge, emphasizing the need for policy reform to enhance privacy and integration of HIV services.
