Overview

Cohort study reveals adherence patterns in adults starting ART in South Africa, indicating key demographic influences on treatment success.

Key Points

  • Mean treatment adherence drops to 47% between months 13 and 24 for adults on ART.
  • Approximately 85% of patients with low adherence in the first year fail to improve in the following year.
  • Men are less likely than women to achieve optimal adherence levels post-ART initiation.
  • Adults aged 25 and older show a higher likelihood of improving adherence compared to younger patients.
