Considerations of participants regarding the effectiveness of treatment
| There is a cure | E1, E8, E9, E10, E11, E13: Significant trust in the treatment. |
| Treatment does not cure; it slows it down or has other benefits | E2: (After receiving information) It reduces vertical transmission, it slows down the disease. Is there a cure? |
| E4: If the disease is not advanced, treatment isolates it, like putting it in a balloon, so it cannot affect me. | |
| E5, E7: (After receiving information) It slows it down so that it is not transmitted from generation to generation. | |
| E6: It can be remedial, in some people it can slow down the disease. | |
| E12, E14: A lot of uncertainty about whether the treatment can cure the disease. | |
| There is no cure | E2, E3: (Once diagnosed) There is no cure, it is not worth getting tested. |
