A practical method to calibrate self-reported adherence to antiretroviral therapy
Article Abstract:
The methods to calibrate patients' self-reported adherence to match objectively measured adherence more closely for the purpose of developing a practical and more accurate self-reported adherence measure are investigated. The method efficiently identified survey items to improve self-reported adherence measurement and the calibrated measure more closely approximates objectively measured adherence and is more sensitive for detecting nonadherence.

Minimizing resistance consequences after virologic failure on initial combination therapy
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to identify first-line therapies based on the rate of virologic success (VS) and the preservation of future treatment options in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naive subjects. Intra- and interstudy comparisons showed higher VS rates for nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor and boosted PI provide the highest rates of VS in treatment-naive HIV-infected persons.

Repeated measures longitudinal analyses of HIV virologic response as a function of percent adherence, dose timing, genotypic sensitivity and other factors
Article Abstract:
A detailed adherence information is collected using multiple tools along with demographic, clinical, social-behavioral and virologic measure. In HIV-infected participants initiating highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), it is found that long-term suppression of viral load (VL) as associated with taking a higher proportion of prescribed doses and smaller errors in dose timing.
