From access to adherence： the challenges of antiretroviral treatment

This book is a testament to the early treatment successes and the hidden challenges of antiretroviral therapy （ART） in resource-poor settings. It is also a wake-up call to the risk of treatment failure and the development of widespread ARV resistance unless all patients are given the continuing support they need to achieve full adherence to ARVs. AIDS is particularly challenging because it requires very high （at least 95%） levels of adherence to prevent treatment failure and the generation of ARV-resistant virus.
