Durability of Adherence in Self-Management of HIV
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: HIV Infections
In brief
Adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is critical to successful treatment of HIV. This study tested an intervention that helps people infected with HIV take all their medications when and how they were supposed to.
