Medication adherence is behavior that refers to client obeys in following a medication, and makes lifestyle changes in accordance of recommendations from health care providers. Antiretroviral adherence is paramount for HIV/AIDS patients. The effects were often a problem in antiretroviral treatment and toxicity and often be the reason for replacing or stopping antiretroviral treatment. This study aimed to determine the “E-Patuh” Applications effect on antiretroviral adherence in patients Of HIV/AIDS In West Java. The research design was a quasi-experimental with nonequivalent control group design. The location of this research was in RSUD Kota Bandung and in RSUD Kota Banjar. The respondents was selected without randomization and used purposive sampling technique. Respondents in this study were 30 respondents. Data were obtained using self-report questionnaires. The intervention group was monitored a 30-day android-based E-Patuh application and monitored on an E-Patuh website and then measured adherence value with self-report. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22 with chi-square test. The results showed a significant difference between adherence value before and after application of E-Patuh in the intervention group with (p <0.05) with obtained p value = 0,006. The results of this study prove a positive effect on the using of E-Patuh applications against ARV medication adherence in the intervention group with the support system of the E-Patuh application. The used of E-Patuh is helpful in improving ARV adherence in HIV/AIDS patients. The features contained in E-Patuh were directly reminiscent of the timing of taking medication for PWLH. E-Patuh should be consideration for PLHIV and health care providers in hospitals to improve ARV adherence to reduce mortality rates in people living with HIV.

Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Has Decreased The Mortality And Morbidity Of HIV/AIDS, And High Adherence To ART (>95%) Is Necessary For A Good Therapeutic Outcome. Non-Adherence Can Lead To Drug-Resistant HIV Caused By Failure To Achieve Maximal Viral Suppression. Little Is Known About Adherence To ART And Its Determinants Among Ethnically Diverse And Economically Disadvantaged Patients. The Purpose Of The Study Was To Identify The Level Of Adherence And Describe Factors That Influence ART Adherence Among Ethnically Diverse And Economically Disadvantaged Patients. This Is With A View To Providing Information That Could Help Health Care Providers Understand Patient Motivations For Discontinuing Their Antiretroviral Treatment And Helping Patients Collaboratively Develop Treatment Regimens That Facilitate Adherence And Optimize The Outcomes Of HIV/AIDS Therapy. A Cross-Sectional Descriptive Survey Was Used. Data Were Collected Among 400 HIV-Infected Patients On ARV Who Received Pretreatment And Ongoing Adherence Counseling And Education Since 2010 Using A Self-Administered Questionnaire. The Data Were Analyzed Using Statistical Package For Social Sciences (SPSS). Findings Showed That The Self-Reported Adherence To The Specific Timing For Taking The Medications (Medication Schedule) Was Significantly Low (8.3%). The Major Factors For Non-Adherence To Medication Reported In This Study Were Being Busy At Work Or School, Forgetfulness, Fasting And Travelling Away From Home. Also, Employment Status Was Associated With Poor Adherence, Which May Be Corroborated By The Major Reason For Non-Adherence (Busy At Work Or School). This Study Is One Of The First Steps In The Exploration Of The Relationship Of Factors Responsible And Medication Adherence Among HIV Patients. This Study Used Three Different Measures Of Medication Adherence. These Are Patients’ Knowledge Of The Benefits Of Taking The Drugs, Adherence To A Medication Schedule, And The Number Of Prescribed Doses Of Medications Missed. Health Care Providers Must Identify Possible Barriers To Adherence At The Earliest And Provide Appropriate Solutions. These Factors Should Be Considered When Designing And Implementing Adherence Interventions.

Health-care providers in China are facing an exponential increase in HIV testing and HIV-positive patients. A total of 1101 service providers were recruited to examine attitudes toward people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in China. Logistic regression models were used to assess factors associated with providers' attitudes toward mandatory HIV testing. Providers were most likely to endorse mandatory HIV testing for patients with high-risk behaviour and for all patients before surgery. Over 43% of providers endorsed mandatory testing for anyone admitted to hospital. Controlling for demographics, multivariate analyses indicated that providers with higher perceived risk of HIV infection at work, higher general prejudicial attitudes toward PLWHA, and previous contact with HIV patients were more likely to endorse mandatory HIV testing for anyone admitted to hospital. Results underscore the importance of implementing universal precautions in health-care settings and call attention to social and ethical issues associated with HIV/AIDS control and treatment in China.
