HIV symptomatic or AIDS diagnosed women who had a young well child were recruited for a study investigating their adherence to antiretrovirals (N = 46). Very poor rates of adherence were found, ranging from 43% (pill count assessment) to 56% (self-report of 3-day adherence to dose). Several factors were associated with nonadherence, including alcohol use, perceived stress, having a partner and age of youngest child, poor self-efficacy to stay with treatment, and poor outcome expectancies regarding the benefits of following the treatment regimen. Interventions to assist these women in improving adherence are urgently needed. (C) 2002 by The Haworth Press, Inc. All rights reserved.
