No significant sex difference was observed in attitude towards ART adherence. Besides, the result of multiple regression also showed that only single, unemployment and vocational education were accounted for non- adherence to ART (β = .228, t (113) = 2.655, P< 0.05), (β = .297, t (114) = 3.451, p< 0.05) and ( β = .231, t (113) = 2.652, p< 0.05) respectively.
