Multicenter StudyPharmacists' strategies for promoting medication adherence among patients with HIV.
To provide pharmacists' perspectives on medication adherence barriers for patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and to describe pharmacists' strategies for promoting adherence to antiretroviral medications. ⋯ Pharmacists in community settings went beyond prescription drug counseling mandated by law to provide additional pharmacy services that were tailored to the needs of patients with HIV. Given that many individuals with HIV are living longer, more research is needed on the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of pharmacists' interventions in clinical practice, in order to inform insurance reimbursement policies.
