Résumé :
ENGLISH :
This exploratory analysis compared adherence to antiretroviral medication on days that illicit drugs mere used and on matched abstinence days in twelve subjects who used MEMS caps during participation in a clinical trial. Adherence on drug use days was lower in seven subjects, higher in one, and the same in four. Three subjects maintained 100% adherence despite illicit substance use on studied days. Thus, in a subset of patients, the actions involved in procuring drugs and the acute effects of using them contribute to non-adherence on those specific drug use days. (Author' s abstract)
