Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy and Virologic Suppression among HIV-Infected Persons Receiving Care in Private Clinics in Mumbai, India

Abstract

Self-reported adherence to ART in a sample of patients attending Mumbai's private clinics was relatively high. However, the fact that a detectable viral level was found in nearly 40% of patients suggests that second-line ART regimens, as well as an emphasis on adherence and appropriate ART regimens in India, is needed.
