Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to describe the adherence to ARV treatment among HIV/AIDS patients at District 6 Health Center and analyze the factors affecting adherence in 2024. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 1958 outpatient HIV/AIDS patients aged 15 years and older receiving ARV treatment at District 6 Health Center. Data were collected from medical records and healthcare worker surveys, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Data were processed using SPSS version 25. Results: The adherence rate was 87.7%, with 12.3% of patients non-adherent. Factors affecting adherence included age, gender, family support, and interactions with healthcare workers. Males had a higher non-adherence rate than females, and older patients adhered better. Healthcare workers emphasized that current infrastructure and training programs were insufficient to meet patient needs. Conclusions: To improve adherence rates, it is necessary to enhance healthcare worker training, upgrade infrastructure, and provide financial support for disadvantaged HIV/AIDS patients.
