Sustained benefit from a long-term antiretroviral adherence intervention
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to assess the efficacy of 2 adherence interventions, medication managers (MM) and medication alarms (ALR), among antiretroviral (ARV)-naive persons with HIV initiating ARV therapy. The findings demonstrate that interpersonal structured adherence support was associated with improved long-term medication adherence and virologic and immunologic HIV outcomes.
