Abstract:"Background: Strict adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is required for maximum immunologic, virologic and survival gains for people living with HIV/AIDS. Neurocognitive impairment among HIV-infected individuals was previously associated with poor ART adherence with a bidirectional relationship wherein HIV-associated neurocognitive impairments resulted in poor adherence and vice versa (Hinkin, 2002). We examined the associations of ART adherence on neurocognitive, clinical and behavioral variables among HIV-infected individuals at baseline and six months.
