Abstrakt: The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of screening for medication adherence in HIV-infected children. The results suggest that caregivers who are unable to describe the medication regimen or who are nonadherent with appointments are unlikely to adhere to the medication regimen. Adherence with at least 90% of medication doses was associated with a virologic response.
