RESUMEN
Uno de los principales factores que influyen en el éxito de la terapia anti-retroviral es la adherencia. Sin embargo, existen otros elementos que el médico debe conocer y cumplir de manera de optimizar la eficacia terapéutica. Si bien distintos fármacos anti-retrovirales han sido aprobados para su uso en pacientes con infección por VIH, cada uno de ellos tiene indicaciones y contraindicaciones particulares que habrá que conocer antes de indicarlos en un paciente en particular. La elección del anti-retroviral dependerá de múltiples factores tales como la edad, sexo, co-morbilidades, co-infecciones, estado virológico e inmunológico del paciente, entre otras. Además, es necesario explicar la importancia del cumplimiento de los horarios de administración y las posibles interacciones con otros medicamentos, todos puntos esenciales para obtener un pronóstico favorable de la terapia.
