Patients\u2019 adherence to HAART has not been determined since the commencement of HAART at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH), Ilorin, Nigeria, over 5 years ago. Objectives: To determine the adherence level of people living with HIV\/AIDS (PLWHA) to HAART and identify associated factors. Methodology: A semistructured questionnaire was administered to PLWHA, who were accessing treatment. Sociodemographic, lifestyle, HIV medical, and drug history were obtained from them. Adherence was self-reported. Good adherence was taking of 95% of the prescribed doses of HAART over the preceding 30 days before consultation. Results: Study participants were 253; majority, 58.5%, were females. About 70.8% of them had good adherence. Older age and male sex correlated better with adherence. Conclusion: People living with HIV\/AIDS were quite adherent to HAART. Male sex and older age were positive predictors of adherence. Adherence among the young age and females needs strengthening.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1545109710368722","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,7]],"date-time":"2010-06-07T21:02:16Z","timestamp":1275944536000},"page":"191-195","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Factors Influencing Adherence to Antiretroviral Medication in Ilorin, Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"9","author":[{"family":"Alakija Kazeem Salami","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abayomi","family":"Fadeyi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Microbiology, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James A","family":"Ogunmodede","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olufemi","family":"Desalu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"AIDS epidemic update. 2007. \u2018\u2018UNAIDS\/ 07.27E\/JC1322E.\u2019\u2019","author":"UNAIDS\/WHO","year":"2009"},{"key":"atypb2","volume-title":"Access to ARVs crucial to checking HIV\/AIDS scourge","author":"Businessday."},{"key":"atypb3","volume-title":"National HIV Sero-Prevalence Sentinel Survey among the antenatal clinic attendees","author":"Virtual Hospital.","year":"2008"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09540120412331305098"},{"issue":"3","key":"atypb5","first-page":"237","volume":"44","author":"Tadios Y.","year":"2006","journal-title":"EMJ"},{"key":"atypb6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(05)62505-6"},{"key":"atypb7","first-page":"B10445","volume":"14","author":"Remien RVV","year":"2002","journal-title":"Int Conf AIDS"},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Rabkin JG, Chesney MA Treatment adherence to AIDS medications: the Achilles heel of the new therapeutics .
