“…No significant differences were observed among groups of patients who did abandon and those who did not abandon the follow-up regarding gender, color/race, or home address. On the other hand, older individuals and the previous use of four or more ARV schemes as well, showed a negative association with abandonment, which is, these factors could work as a protector of this outcome (26) . However, comparing absentees with non-absentees patients, we did not observe a significant difference in patients' age (even when older and younger than 60 years were compared).…”

“…Among the main causes of treatment evasion of HIV-positive patients, we can mention the following: adverse events or toxicities (fear and/or manifestation of symptoms and signs); depression and other psychiatric disorders; alcohol and/or recreational drugs abuse; social and economic difficulties; no expectation of treatment conclusion; absence of symptoms justifying therapy, taking into account the culture of a curative medicine and not a preventive medicine; unawareness of the natural progression of the infection, and goals of therapy as well; religious beliefs and overvalue of excludent alternative therapies in relation to ARV (24) . According to Bastos Schilkowsky et al (2011) (26) , among younger individuals, the participation in promiscuous relationships, low schooling, unemployment situation or unstable job link, a long period until diagnosis and first consultation, and the psychiatric history acknowledge are increasingly factors of abandonment risk. No significant differences were observed among groups of patients who did abandon and those who did not abandon the follow-up regarding gender, color/race, or home address.…”

“…Some data show that a low count of CD4+ T cells may be a risk factor related to the disease that affects the patient's adherence to treatment (Schilkowsky et al, 2011). Studies try to explain this situation using two theories: the physical and cognitive patient receives as the disease progresses (Melchior et al, 2007;Gir et al, 2005;Garrido and Castro, 2005).…”

“…O uso prolongado de ARV, como a situação vivida pelos adolescentes infectados na infância, está relacionado ao acompanhamento clínico permanente e no longo prazo, que pode facilitar o processo de adaptação e aceitação dos esquemas de ARV. Entretanto, o tempo indeterminado do tratamento dessa doença crônica, ainda sem cura, possivelmente implica a dificuldade de adesão (19) . Mesmo com os avanços da terapia de medicamentos para o HIV/aids, os efeitos colaterais dos ARV são frequentes e podem se associar aos fatores relacionados à fragilidade na adesão ao TARV, pois os principais efeitos são: diarreia, distúrbios gastrintestinais (vômito e náuseas) e rash cutâneo (2,13) .…”
