Abstract
The concordance between quantity of dispensed medication to 417 HIV infecte d patients coming to our out patient department of the pharmacy service and the date of the next dispensation was used to estimate the compliance. The 49.6% patients were discontinued the treatment. A significant relation was shown between the number of antiretrovirals wich composes the therapeutic combination and the compliance but there is no relationship between the com pliance and the frequency of dosages.
