Abstract

METHODS: Adults reporting HIV infection during the 2005-2007 US National Health and Wellness Surveys on at least one ARV component drug participated in this study. For the multivariate analysis, respondents needed to be on an ARV regimen that contained at least two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and at least one protease inhibitor or non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Respondents were classified as adherent if they either never missed or skipped an antiretroviral dose or did so less than once per week, and complete adherence if they never missed or skipped a dose, otherwise they were considered to have incomplete adherence. Resource use was defined by ER visits and hospitalizations. Chi-square tests were used for comparisons of percents and t-tests for comparisons of means. Logistic regression models were run controlling for possible confounders, with complete adherence the dependent variable of interest.
