Abstract:

Aids is an advanced clinical manifestation of HIV infection. It generates severe immunodeficiency and associated infections that may lead to death. The availability of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has reduced the morbidity and mortality of HIV/aids, but its benefits depend on ART adherence. This integrative review followed the PICO method to identify factors associated with ART adherence in adults. Empirical articles published between January 2010 and December 2016 in the MEDLINE, SciELO, LILACS and PePSIC databases were included. We analyzed 125 articles regarding the characteristics of the studies, adherence measurement and associated factors. The results showed great variation in the definition and measures of adherence and in the factors associated with adherence. That were categorized as follows: 1- individual variables, 2- treatment characteristics, 3- HIV/aids infection characteristics, 4- relation with the health service, 5- social support. It is important that health services characterize the profiles of users, systematize adherence measures and regionally assess factors associated with adherence, for the early detection of nonadherence to ART and implementation of effective intervention plans.
