Improving Adherence to Care Among “Hard to Reach” HIV-Infected Patients in Argentina

Abstract: Many HIV-infected patients fail to achieve undetectable viral load and are not retained in care. This pilot study examined patients lost to care in public and private clinics in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The impact of patient and provider interventions was compared separately and collectively. In Phase 1, participants prescribed antiretrovirals (ARVs) and non-adherent to treatment in the prior 3 to 6 months (n = 60) were randomized to patient intervention or standard of care (SOC) and assessed over 12 months.

“…While considerable progress has been achieved with ART/HAART, nonetheless, too many people of the diverse at-risk categories unprecedentedly continue the spread of HIV. Support by "Adherence to the care…" [112] [113] and online services [114] may be helpful to some degree. The proposals published by the ECDC/WHO are not innovative: "Multi-component interventions and the consideration of new strategies, such as the inclusion of pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV, self-testing and assisted partner notification into the package of prevention and control interventions, could help to curb this increasing trend [115]."…”

“…But it turned out that the circumstances to motivate HIV patients to cooperate here have to be structured to the very individual needs to help them [42]. Enforcing the linking to health care for HIV patients seems to be a necessary thing to do [43] [44]. A dire situation is given with people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) who know their HIV-positive status but do not initiate cART [45].…”
