Table 3.

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.
