From the article results in PubMed: "Despite varying perceptions of the intervention, most participants found it useful. The intervention was perceived as a sign of 'care' from the clinic. The IVR call was preferred to the SMS reminder. Two-way communication was preferred to automated calls. Participants also perceived a risk of unintentional disclosure of their HIV status and stigma thereof via the intervention and took initiatives to mitigate this risk. Targeting reminders at those with poor adherence and those in need of social support was suggested."
