Association Lamivudine +Stavudine + Nevirapine (triomune) was the most prescribed antiretroviral therapy (34.2%). The bad observance was noted at 58.5% of the patients. The principal causes of bad observance were: the lapse of memory 47.5% (96/202) and difficulties of access to the hospital 34.6% (70/202). The changes of molecules were due primarily to the out-of-stock condition, and the side effects.
