Women are the fastest growing group of persons with AIDS. They are often diagnosed later in the disease, when antiretroviral therapy (ART) is strongly indicated. Currently ART involves the use of multiple medications that must be taken under strict conditions at regular time intervals up to as many as 4 different times a day. Some medications must be taken on an empty stomach, some with high fat food, some with low fat food, and all of these must be coordinated throughout the day. It is extremely important for patients to take ART exactly as prescribed and not miss any doses in order to reduce the amount of HIV virus in the bloodstream, increase the CD4 cell counts, prevent the serious consequences of AIDS, hospitalizations, and development of drug resistant strains. These regimen-related problems and the high care-taking burden placed on HIV+ women for their children and partners make near perfect adherence difficult to achieve. And, as women on ART begin to feel better and resume their normal activities, including sexual activities, adherence to behaviors that contribute to reducing the risk of spreading HIV (RRB), such as condom use and safe needle use in injection drug users becomes crucial. Researches have shown that only about 11% to 63% of HIV+ women use condoms consistently.
