A Study of Two Adherence Plans to Help HIV-Positive Patients Take Their Medications Correctly
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: HIV Infections
In brief
The purpose of this study is to look at different ways to help patients follow their anti-HIV medication schedules. It is very important that HIV-positive patients take their anti-HIV medications correctly so they get the best possible benefit from them. Taking the drugs correctly, called "adherence," may keep HIV virus levels in the blood (viral load) low for a longer time. However, anti-HIV medication schedules are often complicated, and many patients have difficulty remembering to take their drugs at the correct time. This study will look at 2 different ways to teach patients about the importance of taking their medications correctly and to remind them when to take their medications.
