ART adherence

ART adherence refers to consistently taking prescribed HIV medications exactly as directed by a healthcare provider. Proper adherence ensures the medication effectively suppresses the virus, reducing the risk of illness progression, transmission, and development of drug resistance. It involves following the timing, dosage, and frequency of medications, often requiring daily commitment. Good adherence is crucial for maintaining health, achieving viral suppression, and preventing complications associated with HIV. Healthcare providers may offer support and strategies to help individuals stay on track with their ART regimen.
