Virological and clinical success depends critically on elevated adherence to ART, without which maternal disease can develop, with its attendant increase in the risk of vertical mother-to-child transmission. The level of non-adherence to ART is high in many communities in Nigeria. This study assesses the level of ART adherence and identifies factors that influence nonadherence among pregnant women living with HIV/AIDS.","PeriodicalId":102800,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Epidemiology & Toxicology","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128931485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
