Evaluation and follow-up of anti-retroviral treatment adherence of HIV positive patients assisted at a hospital in La Plata, Argentina

The HZGA San Roque Hospital (an Acute Hospital at La Plata, Argentina) assists 40 HIV patients. The present study was carried out due to the lack of adherence to the High Activity Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART) because of the late withdrawal of medication. The present work was implemented on HIV pa...

The present study was carried out due to the lack of adherence to the High Activity Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART) because of the late withdrawal of medication. The present work was implemented on HIV patients who withdraw medication from the Pharmacy Department at the Hospital. Research period lasted 12 months. The aims of this work were to quantify the degree of adherence to the treatment, to assist patients by means of pharmaceutical care so that they reach a 90 % of adherence to the treatment, to analyse the relationship between the understanding of the treatment and its administration and the degree of adherence, and, finally, to analyse the relationship between viral load (VL) and adherence.

The patients' responsibility and commitment to the treatment also increased, as well as CD4 values; VL, on the other hand, decreased with respect to the beginning of the study.
