Why do some people not support anti-retroviral therapy?

Some people may not support anti-retroviral therapy (ART) due to concerns about potential side effects, stigma associated with HIV/AIDS, or a lack of understanding of the benefits of treatment. Cultural beliefs or misinformation can also lead to distrust in medical interventions. Additionally, some individuals may prioritize alternative treatments over ART, believing they are more effective or safer. Economic barriers and access to healthcare can further complicate support for ART.
