Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Antiretroviral hair drug levels are currently being used to monitor adherence to HIV treatment. There is currently a dearth of literature on the preferred technique(s) of hair harvest for medical testing in the context of African multicultural settings.
UNASSIGNED: To explore the preferred techniques(s) of hair harvest for medical testing among TB patients.
UNASSIGNED: We used a descriptive phenomenological approach to conduct interviews for 15 TB patients from the 06th through the 24th of June 2022. Data was organized by N-VIVO version 10 and analysed step by step using a thematic analytical approach.
UNASSIGNED: Participants aged <30 years were more knowledgeable, positively perceived, and experienced about the salon-based hair cutting technique compared to those aged≥30 years old. Participants aged ≥30 had experience, flexibility to use, and were knowledgeable in all three techniques, Overall, for all age categories (<30,30-40 and >40 years), majority of the respondents were knowledgeable, flexible and experienced in using all the three techniques.
UNASSIGNED: The majority of TB patients were knowledgeable, experienced and flexible about the hair cutting techniques however, efforts are needed to educate the youth that hair for medical testing can be cut by any of the three techniques without changing their cosmetic look.

摘要：
■抗逆转录病毒药物水平目前被用于监测对HIV治疗的依从性。目前缺乏关于在非洲多元文化背景下用于医学测试的优选毛发收获技术的文献。
■探索结核病患者中用于医学测试的首选毛发采集技术。
■我们使用描述性现象学方法对2022年6月6日至24日的15名结核病患者进行了访谈。数据由N-VIVO第10版组织，并使用专题分析方法逐步分析。
■年龄<30岁的参与者知识渊博，积极感知，与30岁以上的人相比，对基于沙龙的剪发技术有丰富的经验。年龄≥30岁的参与者有经验，使用的灵活性，并且精通所有三种技术，总的来说,对于所有年龄类别（<30,30-40和>40岁），大多数受访者知识渊博，灵活和经验丰富的使用所有这三种技术。
■大多数结核病患者知识渊博，经验丰富，灵活的理发技术，需要努力教育年轻人，可以通过三种技术中的任何一种来剪掉用于医学测试的头发，而不会改变他们的化妆品外观。
