青年对抗逆转录病毒治疗（ART）的依从性仍然很低。我们试用了一种经过调整的主动可视化设备，以展示ART在体内的工作原理。感染艾滋病毒的青少年被随机分配到：(1)标准治疗（n=14）或(2)适应的积极可视化干预（n=14），并在2.5个月后重新评估71%的样本（n=19）的病毒载量、依从性行为和疾病认知。在随访中，与标准治疗相比，接受干预的青少年病毒载量较低，坚持抗逆转录病毒治疗的难度较低，并且更有动力和控制他们的艾滋病毒。积极的可视化可能是一个可接受的工具，以解决抗逆转录病毒治疗依从性的年轻人。
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) among youth remains low. We piloted an adapted active visualization device that demonstrates how ART works in the body. Youth living with HIV were randomized to: (1) standard care (n=14) or the (2) adapted active visualization intervention (n=14) and 71% of the sample (n=19) were re-assessed on viral load, adherence behaviors, and illness perceptions 2.5 months later. Intervention youth had lower viral loads, reported less difficulty in adhering to ART, and more motivation and control over their HIV than standard care at follow-up. Active visualization may be an acceptable tool to address ART adherence among youth.
