Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a prerequisite to improve immunity and reduce the morbidity and mortality of people living with HIV (PLWH). To describe ART adherence and associated factors among PLWH, patients who initiated ART in Liuzhou between 1998 and 2013 were recruited. Socio-demographic characteristics, HIV infection-related characteristics and clinical tests were analyzed. Both descriptive and multi-level analyses were used to explore factors related to ART adherence of PLWH who initiated ART in Liuzhou. A total of 8433 patients were recruited in this study. The rate of adherence to ART was 84.9% in PLWH who initiated ART in Liuzhou between 1998 and 2013. The female sex, WHO clinical stage III or IV before ART initiation, longer treatment duration and higher triglyceride were positively associated with ART adherence. Meanwhile, HIV acquired by intravenous drug use, co-infection with tuberculosis and other opportunistic infections were negatively associated with ART adherence. Measures should be adopted to improve the ART adherence of PLWH who are male, acquired HIV by intravenous drug use, and are co-infected with tuberculosis and other opportunistic infections.
