RESUMO

This study aimed to explore the experiences of migrant people living with HIV (MLWH) enrolled in a Montreal-based multidisciplinary HIV care clinic with rapid antiretroviral treatment (ART) initiation and cost-covered ART. Between February 2020 and March 2022, 32 interviews were conducted with 16 MLWH at three time-points (16 after 1 week of ART initiation, 8 after 24 weeks, 8 after 48 weeks). Interviews were analyzed via the Framework Method. Thirty categories were identified, capturing experiences across the HIV care cascade. At diagnosis, most MLWH described "initially experiencing distress". At linkage, almost all MLWH discussed "navigating the health system with difficulty". At treatment initiation, almost all MLWH expressed "being satisfied with treatment", particularly due to a lack of side effects. Regarding care retention, all MLWH noted "facing psychosocial or health-related challenges beyond HIV". Regarding ART adherence, most MLWH expressed "being satisfied with treatment" with emphasis on their taking control of HIV. At viral suppression, MLWH mentioned "finding more peace of mind since becoming undetectable". Regarding their perceived health-related quality of life, most MLWH indicated "being helped by a supportive social network". Efficient, humanizing, and holistic approaches to care in a multidisciplinary setting, coupled with rapid and free ART initiation, seemed to help alleviate patients' concerns, address their bio-psycho-social challenges, encourage their initial and sustained engagement with HIV care and treatment, and ultimately contribute to positive experiences.
