Produktbeschreibung
Almost perfect adherence to antiretrovirals (ARVs) is
required for HIV patients to achieve maximum therapy
benefits, including prevention of perinatal
transmission of HIV. Although research indicates
that ARV treatment during pregnancy can significantly
reduce perinatal transmission of HIV, there is
limited research on factors associated with adherence
to medication protocols among HIV-infected pregnant
women. This book provides an historical overview of
women and the HIV/AIDS epidemic including:
summarizing significant epidemiological data,
describing demographic characteristics, reviewing
reproductive issues and describing relevant factors
associated with adherence to ARV medications. It
features a theoretical based adherence model, and
identifies pharmacy-based measures used to assess
adherence rates and adherence gaps. Health care
professionals will find this book an invaluable
resource in assisting them in developing health
promotion interventions for HIV-infected pregnant
women aiming to eliminate and/or reduce mother to
child transmission of HIV.
