The risk of virologic failure rises with noncompliance (N=161 HIV-infected women)* 17% virologic failure with 88% or greater compliance with
drug regimen
72% virologic failure with 12% or less compliance
Predictors of nonadherence to regimen Active drug use, alcohol use
More frequent antiretroviral dosing
Improving long-term adherence in women should be a public health priority

Suboptimal adherence is a strong predictor of treatment failure
Inconvenient treatment regimens are factors associated with poor adherence

OD Therapy Improves Adherence
Adherence indices rates were 60.5% in the OD cohort (n = 746) and 52% in the BID cohort (n = 246)
At 12 months, these dropped to 44.4% (OD) and 35.8% (BID)

1. Methods such as drug regimen simplification should be aggressively sought to improve adherence.
2. Improved adherence rates may be achieved with a once-daily regimen despite a higher pill burden.
3. Once-daily pharmacotherapy results in higher adherence and persistence with therapy compared with a twice-daily regimen.

Overall compliance was 98.9% with OD therapy, and 97.5% with BID therapy (n = 133)
2.6% missed doses in the OD group, and 3.3% missed doses in the BID group
Blood pressure normalized (<140 mm Hg systolic and <90 mm Hg diastolic) in 41% of the OD patients and 27% of the BID patients

Patients (n = 69) with viral loads of <50 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL were switched after 2 years of therapy on BID saquinavir soft-gelatin capsules (SQV-SGC) (1400 mg) plus zidovudine/ lamivudine or didanosine/stavudine to OD SQV-SGC/RTV (1600/100 mg) with continuing nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs).

93% (n = 64) had plasma viral loads of <50 copies/mL 24 weeks after switching regimens
5 patients had plasma viral loads of <300 copies/mL
Median CD4 cell count increased from 534/mL to 695/mL in the 24 weeks (p < .001) since switching to OD treatment

The data suggests that the combination of SQV-SGC/RTV (1600/100 mg) once daily plus two NRTIs may be a realistic option to
simplify PI-containing therapy and
improve compliance in a select group of HIV-1–infected patients with plasma viral loads of <50 copies/mL.

Adherence remains one of the greatest challenges for patients receiving antiretroviral treatment
Increased simplification of treatment regimens should assist in improving the long-term adherence to therapy and maintaining treatment efficacy

In the future, once-daily regimens will become the standard of care for HIV infection
Several currently available antiretroviral drugs can be used once daily, or
have the pharmacokinetic potential for once-daily dosing, and
others are in development
