ARV ADHERENCE AMONG HIV PATIENTS RECEIVING BUPRENORPHINE/NALOXONE TREATMENT IN HANOI
Main Article Content
Abstract
Aim:This article aims to describe the ARV adherence rate and associated factors in this population. Methods:Conducting quasi-experimental design (no controlled group) at 4 outpatient HIV clinics in Hanoi between 2016 and 2019, 136 participants and followed up within 12 months. ARV adherence was measured by VAS (visual analogue scale). Mixed-effect model was applied to identify factors associated with ARV adherence. Results: 96.3% of participants were male with mean age 38,8±5,8 years, 43% were employed,53,7% used heroin over 10 years and mean CD4 count was 411±216 TB/mm3. Self-reported timely ARV pills taking from 90% or more in the last 7 days is 80.6% at baseline, 87% at 6 months and 79.4% at 12 months. Findings from the mixed-effect model analysis showed that having positive with morphine in the urine test (OR=0.24; 95% KTC: 0.06-0.90) and HIV viral load ≥ 200 copies/mL(OR=0.07; 95% KTC: 0.02-0.28) and receiving ARV treatment after participating in the study (OR=0,28; 95%KTC: 0,08 – 0,96) lead to poor adherence to ARV medication. Conclusion: The percentage of optimal ARV adherence after 12 month follow is relative good among patients receiving both ARV and buprenorphine treatment.
