Abstract

Background: Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ARV) is essential to maintaining viral suppression in HIV/AIDS treatment, improving patients' quality of life, and reducing the risk of HIV transmission to others. Objective: To determine the adherence rate to ARV treatment among HIV/AIDS patients and to examine factors associated with non-adherence among patients receiving treatment at the Hoa Thanh Town Medical Center, Tay Ninh Province, in 2025. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 360 HIV/AIDS patients receiving treatment at the outpatient clinic of Hoa Thanh Town Medical Center, Tay Ninh Province, from January 2025 to March 2025. Results: The overall adherence rate to ARV treatment among HIV/AIDS patients was 80.6%. Factors associated with non-adherence to ARV treatment included female gender (OR = 2.50, p = 0.014), age over 39 years (OR = 2.61, p < 0.001), and little to no support from healthcare workers (OR = 12.85, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Strengthening counseling on ARV adherence at treatment facilities and implementing reminder support through text messages can help improve patient adherence to ARV treatment.
