RESUMEN
Background: While treating patients with HIV infection it is important to achieve more than 95% compliance to ART (Antiretroviral Therapy) in order to suppress viral replication.Methods: This was a retrospective, observational, record based study of HIV positive patients undergoing treatment with ZLN (zidovudine 300 mg, lamivudine 150 mg, nevirapine 200 mg) and TLE ( tenofovir 300 mg, lamivudine 150 mg, efavirenz 600 mg) regimens. The treatment charts of the patients fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria were reviewed.Results: Analysis of adherence showed that there were 12 patients out of 150 on ZLN regimen and 31 patients out of 150 on TLE regimen were nonadherent to the respective treatments.Conclusions: In this observational study patients on ZLN regimen were showing greater compliance than TLE regimen.
