Abstract
The benefits of highly active antiretroviral therapy have been blunted and limited by difficulties in access and adherence to therapy. No other infect ious disease has required life-long therapy. Interventions and strategies t o improve adherence to therapy are under study and currently available for use in clinical care settings. Clinicians caring for people with HIV should incorporate these into clinical care to ensure full therapeutic benefit.
