“…A social and behavior change program based on the Masculine Values Framework might frame HIV testing and ART as a way for MLHIV to continue to aspire to their goals [51]. For example, early detection of HIV and prompt and sustained ART (now available to all people living with HIV for free in Côte d’Ivoire through the universal application of the Test and Treat policy) can help men maintain their physical strength and continue working.…”
