Crests, troughs, and plateaus: Using story theory to explore the experiences of adolescents and young people living with HIV in Kampala, Uganda

2026Open accessMakerere University

Abstract

Story theory provides a valuable framework for understanding the health experiences of adolescents and young people living with HIV and for delivering care that is tailored to their unique individual narratives. These findings may be useful to nurses, counselors, and peer supporters involved in the care of this population. Future research should explore ways to integrate story theory into adolescent HIV care services to improve health outcomes for adolescents and young people living with HIV.
