Brief Summary

A number of factors influence HIV-positive adolescents' acceptance of and willingness to continue taking anti-HIV medicines. These factors include mental health and substance abuse issues, barriers such as lack of medical insurance, and cognitive-behavioral barriers (such as a person's impression of the impact of the medicines on his/her health and a person's sense of his/her ability to continue taking the medications prescribed). The purpose of this study is to use a survey to determine how common specific barriers are that prevent HIV positive adolescents from taking their anti-HIV medicines and if those barriers cluster together. The information collected will be used to develop and validate a schema for classifying HIV medication adherence by barriers to adherence or clusters of barriers to adherence. This classification schema could then be used in the development of interventions that better meet the needs of HIV-infected youth.

Study Population

The study population will consist of HIV-infected youth who are eligible for antiretroviral therapy (ART) based on the US Public Health Service (PHS) guidelines and have been offered and/or prescribed HAART by their healthcare provider. Subjects aged 12 through 24 years old will be recruited from youth engaged in care at the fifteen ATN clinical sites located across the United States and in Puerto Rico. Youth engaged in care at selected non- ATN clinic centers will also be offered the opportunity to participate in this study.

You may qualify if:

  • Between the ages of 12 years and 24 years
  • Eligible for ART (antiretroviral therapy) based on US Public Health Service guidelines
  • Have been offered and/or prescribed HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy)
  • Ability to give informed consent or assent with parental permission, where required

You may not qualify if:

  • Infected with HIV but do not require ART
  • Started HAART but stopped due to medical reasons, (e.g., change in medication guidelines, toxicity, resistance, etc.)
  • Females prescribed/receiving HAART for the purpose of preventing mother-to-child transmission
