Adherence to medical treatment for
HIV/AIDS is an essential determinant of treatment
success or failure. Yet, we still have much to learn
about measurement, determinants, and interventions
for HIV treatment adherence — these are complex challenges
that require multidisciplinary cooperation among
providers, researchers, government agencies, and
patients
The goal of this conference is to
provide an international forum for the presentation
and discussion of state-of-the-science HIV treatment
adherence research, as well as current behavioral
and clinical perspectives in practicum. Our ultimate
hope is that this dialogue translates into evidence-based
implementation of approaches for real world clinical
and community settings
After attending this
conference, participants were able to:
- Identify successes and challenges
in HIV treatment adherence in various settings
and populations worldwide
- Understand behavioral and clinical
aspects of adherence that reflect a variety of
HIV treatment team perspectives (e.g., patients,
physicians, pharmacists, nurses, mental health
professionals, adherence specialists)
- Describe the relationships between
adherence, pharmacokinetics, viral suppression,
and resistance
- Understand the implications of
adherence for HIV prevention and public health
- Identify adherence assessment
tools and interventions that can be integrated
into patient care, including in resource-limited
settings
