This study determined the prevalence and influence of sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical factors on complete ART adherence among people living with HIV (PLWH) receiving medical care in Houston/Harris County, Texas.Methods: Data from the Houston Medical Monitoring Project survey collected from 2009 to 2014 among 1073 participants were used in this study. The primary outcome evaluated was combined adherence, defined as complete, partial, and incomplete combined adherence based on three ART adherence types—dose, schedule, and instruction adherence. The duration living since initial HIV diagnosis was classified as < 5, 5– 10 and > 10 years. Rao–Scott Chi-square test and multivariable proportional-odds cumulative logit regression models were employed to identify the sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical characteristics of complete combined adherence among the three groups of PLWH living with HIV infection.Results: More than one-half (54.4%) of PLWH had complete, 37.4% had partial, and 8.3% had incomplete combined adherence. Among these PLWH, 52.2% had been infected with HIV for > 10 years, and 26.5% and 21.4% were infected for < 5 years and 5– 10 years, respectively. PLWH who were diagnosed < 5 and 5– 10 years were two times (aOR=1.71, 95% CI=1.13– 2.57; aOR=1.69, 95% CI=1.10– 2.59; respectively) more likely to experience complete combined adherence than those with > 10 years of infection. Multiple sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical characteristics were significantly associated with complete adherence and varied by the duration of HIV infection.Conclusion: Measures of adherence should include all adherence types (dose, schedule, instruction), as utilizing a single adherence type will overestimate adherence level in PLWH receiving medical care. Intervention efforts to maintain adherence should target recently infected PLWH, while those aimed at improving adherence should focus on longer infected PLWH.Keywords: HIV, people living with HIV, antiretroviral therapy, medication adherence, Medical Monitoring Projecthttps://www.dovepress.com/evaluation-of-the-sociodemographic-behavioral-and-clinical-influences--peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-HIVhivpeople living with hivantiretroviral therapymedication adherencemedical monitoring project |
