Abstract:
The objective of the study was to understand, from the perspective of HIV bearers and family, the aspects that influence in the adhesion to the antiretroviral therapy. It is a descriptive study, of qualitative nature, carried out from June 2006 to July 2007, with 10 HIV/Aids positive individuals, attended at the Service of Specialized Care on Aids of Campo Mourão - PR and their relatives. The considered facilitative factors of the adhesion are: adoption of strategies to remind schedules and to mask the taste of the medicine, absence of side effects, reduced number of medicines to be taken and capacity to recognize them, memory of the symptoms of the disease and the support of the social group. The absence of these factors can culminate in non adhesion.
