Overview
The latest statistics regarding the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the U.S. illustrate there has been a decrease in the number of new HIV diagnoses from 2005 to 2014 of 19%.1 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate 1.2 million people are living with HIV infection, and many do not know it. The good news is that with the use of antiretroviral therapies, the progression of HIV infection to AIDS has been slowed, and AIDS deaths have been reduced. However, the bad news is that patients experience numerous difficulties taking these therapies, and adherence to treatment regimens can be challenging for patients. Healthcare providers can help design individualized plans of care to improve adherence. This activity will address barriers to adherence and negative consequences of nonadherence to drug therapy.
Goals and Learning Outcomes
- Identify two important sequelae to medication nonadherence by patients with HIV
- Identify two barriers and two facilitators to adherence to HIV medication regimens
- List three critical components of interventions to promote adherence to HIV medications
