No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Medication adherence is one of the most salient predictors of patient outcomes in the era following development of effective treatment for HIV infection. Evolving strategies to improve adherence, specifically incentive interventions and real-time medication monitoring, have shown some success in limited studies. Further investigation into incentive interventions for HIV-infected adolescents with poor medication adherence is necessary.
