Abstract
Adherence to antiretroviral medication regimens among human immunodeficiency virus positive-children is influenced by a number of psychosocial factors including characteristics of the child, the caregiver, the medical team, and the medications. To address these factors requires treatment approaches that are flexible and comprehensive. One such treatment approach is multisystemic therapy (MST), an empirically supported intensive home-based treatment approach that has been proven effective with other chronic pediatric conditions. This case report describes the use of MST with a poorly adherent, perinatally infected adolescent.
