I remember one instance while conducting the PrEP trial for HIV discordant couples.The HIV negative person was receiving study drug Truvada which was blue in color. Truvada is an Antiretroviral drug available in our country for HIV treatment but white in color. Some health workers who had not been properly engaged about our study could not understand how HIV negative people were taking HIV drugs.The fact that the drugs were blue(for study purposes)and not white made them doubt more.Some of the participants who came into contact with these health workers were told to stop the medication.This definitely affected the adherence levels of some clients.Later on we were able to rectify the situation by engaging as many health workers as possible.
