Description:

Medication Adherence in HIV/AIDS clearly and authoritatively defines the scope of the HIV/AIDS treatment problem and the barriers to antiretroviral adherence. Issues of adherence vary from population to population, and the emphasis on challenges in managing special patient populations will be of particular use to clinicians who care for those patient groups. The sections addressing the difficulties in predicting and measuring adherence and proposed solutions for preventing and overcoming nonadherence provide a wealth of useful information for physicians on the frontlines of HIV/AIDS care.
