---

Anti Retroviral Treatment (ART) for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection/ Acquired Immunodefficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a life-long treatment with the goal of the suppression of virus replication to achieve patient improved quality of life. Unfortunafely, number of treatment failures among patient receiving ART is stlll high because of poor adherence. The criteria for good adherence include taking the pills in the exact time, using exact doses and number of pills. To be considered good, the level of adherence should be more than 95% during monthly treatment.
Adherence counselling is an important intervention for the patient before starting ARV treatment. Counseling provides education, information and emotional support to patients. Since adherence counseling was conducted in Teratai Clinic, the number of death was significantly decreased from 13,6% in 2000 to 4,3 % in 2009. Clinical results of studies in Teratai Clinic dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital showed the importance of adherence counselling before starting ARV treatment.
