Investigating client perception and attitude to decentralization of HIV/AIDS treatment services to primary health centres in three Nigerian states

The study examined client perception and attitude toward decentralization of antiretroviral treatment services from central hospitals to primary health centers. The findings imply that scale-up of treatment services to primary health centers would be widely accepted and probably would result in increased uptake. But, this must be accompanied by targeted behavior change interventions for clients who, for the fear of disclosure and stigma, would still not access care from proximate facilities.
