ADHERENCE TO HIGHLY ACTIVE ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY

Nursing Clinics of North America, 1999
Advances in scientific understanding of and pharmacologic therapies for HIV infection have significantly increased the potential benefits of medical regimens. Patients adherence to these regimens is an essential antecedent to therapeutic effectiveness. Nursing interventions to improve adherence target the patient, the clinician, and the regimen.

Virologic and immunologic response to highly active antiretroviral therapy

Current HIV/AIDS Reports, 2002
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) delays clinical progression by suppressing viral replication, measured by a substantial reduction in HIV RNA, allowing the immune system to reconstitute, measured in most studies by an increase in CD4 cells. These virologic and immunologic consequences do not occur uniformly among HAART users. Markers of HIV

Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy

PharmacoEconomics, 2001
The advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), including protease inhibitors and/or non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, for the treatment of HIV infection has led to a dramatic decline of morbidity and mortality. The acquisition costs of HAART are substantial. However, these costs are partially offset by reduced inpatient care

Late presenters in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy

AIDS, 2004
To investigate the characteristics and clinical, immunological and virological outcomes for individuals presenting for care with low CD4 cell counts.Individuals aged > 16 years presenting for care for the first time were identified between 1 January 1996 and 31 December 2002. Late presenters were those with CD4 cell count < 50 x 10(6) cells/l.

Adherence Assessment to Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy

AIDS Patient Care and STDs, 2001
Adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is the outcome of a dynamic process of clinical and behavioral interactions. This article reviews factors influencing this process and provides suggestions to enhance adherence to HAART. Interventions to improve adherence to HAART should combine efficacy of treatments with a strong patient ...

Neurocognitive dysfunction in the highly active antiretroviral therapy era

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2012
The aim is to review the recent confirmation of the continued high prevalence of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) despite highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in a large cohort study and to review the recent studies that have begun to address the potential reasons for such persistence.HAND remains prevalent, despite effective ...

Highly active antiretroviral therapy and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia

AIDS, 2002
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has improved HIV prognosis, but its effect on cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), which is associated with HIV, is uncertain. Among 71 HAART-treated women the prevalence of CIN before HAART was 55%. After a median of 10 months after starting HAART the prevalence had increased to 62% (P = 0.20); 13% of ...
