A Comparative Study on Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Adherence Among the Tribal and Non-tribal Populations Living With HIV/AIDS in Ranchi, India
Despite the best support system by the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO), which encompasses free drugs, counseling, and reminders, a fifth of patients still were not consistent with their treatments. We need to focus on travel costs and distance to improve this, as these were the main causes of nonadherence to ART.
