What it does not show
The study reports website development, not a clinical trial or usability test, so it does not show that the website improves HIV treatment adherence or health. The paper does not report how many people living with HIV or health professionals contributed to the brainstorming sessions. The authors state that technological innovations need studies to prove impact and cost-effectiveness, and they call for future studies. The authors note that the site needs more assistive tools, such as Brazilian Sign Language translation in videos.

The easy way to misread this
Do not read this as evidence that the website improves HIV treatment adherence. The paper reports website development and says future studies are needed to analyze its impact on health.
