Antiretroviral Regimen Complexity, Self-Reported Adherence, and HIV Patients' Understanding of Their Regimens: Survey of Women in the HER Study

Abstract

Self-reported adherence is better among patients with less complex ART regimens. This is in part because patients' understanding of regimen dosing decreases as regimen complexity increases. Therefore, simplifying antiretroviral regimens may have an important role in improving patients' adherence.
