Abstract
Background: The success of HIV therapy can be measured by clinical, immunological, and virological monitoring. Meanwhile, low adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) contributes significantly to the disease progression and emergence of drug-resistant HIV.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the correlation between the adherence of HIV/AIDS patients to clinical outcomes in Semarang.
Method: This was an observational and cross-sectional approach. The instrument used the Simple Medication Adherence Questionnaire (SMAQ), which was validated and distributed to 50 respondents. The data were analyzed using chi-square (p < 0.05), and the results showed a statistically significant relationship.
Result: Respondents were male (96%), aged 26-45 years (76%), high school graduates (24%), working (88%), single (86%), without comorbidity (86%), length of treatment more than 12 months (80%), and general treatment (50%). A total of 31 respondents (62%) adhered to treatment with the combination regimen of Tenofovir/Lamivudine/Efavirenz (20%). There was a significant relationship (p = 0.006) between the length of treatment and patient adherence. The adherence results were not significantly related (p > 0.05) to virological outcomes.
Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between the adherence of HIV/AIDS patients and clinical outcomes.
