Adherence, Efficacy and Tolerance of Once-a-day Nevirapine-based Regimen in HIV-1 Infected Patients (POSOVIR)

October 27, 2010 updated by: University Hospital, Caen

Taking antiretrovirals once-a-day is considered the simpler way to improve adherence. However, it is not know if this assertion apply to patients taking their medication twice-a-day who change to once-a-day.

We hypothesized that once-daily dosing improves adherence.
