ABSTRACT
Background: Adherence to Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a principal determinant of virologic suppression. ART is recommended for all people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHIV) to achieve virologic, immunologic, clinical and humanistic outcomes. Non-adherence to treatment may interfere with treatment outcomes.
