FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH HIV ADHERENCE IN ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY: LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

HIV/AIDS is still a global health problem, especially in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Americas. In Indonesia, this problem is increasing from year to year. The success of HIV/AIDS treatment depends largely on the level of compliance of PLHIV in undergoing Antiretroviral (ARV) therapy. Such adherence includes taking medication according to the dosage, the right time, and without breaking. The purpose of this article is to identify factors related to the compliance of People With HIV / AIDS (ODHA) in undergoing Antiretroviral therapy (ARV), with a literature review method that searches for international and national articles through search engines such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and BMC. From 9 articles reviewed, it was found that the factors associated with the compliance of PLHIV in undergoing antiretroviral therapy varied greatly. However, the factor of knowledge and family support is the most dominant factor. Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of education and socialization related to HIV / AIDS and ARV therapy. In addition, support from the family is also needed in order to create a supportive environment for PLHIV in undergoing ARV therapy.
