This study explored sociocultural influencers of disclosure of HIV status to children taking daily antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the Masaka region, Uganda using data collected from 26 key informant interviews with caregivers between October 2020 and July 2021. The findings revealed both positive and negative sociocultural influencers of disclosure. Beliefs that disclosure cultivates responsibility in the child to improve ART adherence and the culture of routine sexual health education conversations with children were positive socio-cultural influencers. Beliefs that disclosure increases children's loss of hope in life and breaks confidentiality with children inadvertently disclosing their HIV status to others leading to discrimination and social rejection, were key negative sociocultural influencers. These findings suggest a need for socio-culturally informed interventions that target caregiver negative socio-cultural disclosure influencers in this setting through contextualized sensitization and training to prepare children taking daily ART to receive disclosure progressively.
