Disclosure intervention
Participants who are assigned to the Sankofa intervention will take part in the process of disclosure (pre-disclosure, disclosure, and post-disclosure phases) with the adherence and disclosure specialist (ADDS).
Usual Care
During the control period, patients and caregivers recruited at the clinics will receive the current practice in the clinic, where the health care provider is expected to assess the caregiver and child readiness for disclosure during clinic appointments and give some information as they think indicated.
