Abstract
As efforts are implemented to improve the provision of antiretroviral therapy (ART) to people with HIV and AIDS, factors influencing adherence to the drugs (ARVs) play a crucial role in improving health and preventing resistance to ARVs. Charles Hongoro and Harsha Dayal share a study on factors that influence the correct and consistent use of ARVs in urban and resource-poor areas.-
