Introduction:
the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) remains a serious public health problem worldwide. Currently, around 34 million people are living with HIV in the world, which constitutes a challenge for the population and the health authorities.
Objective:
to determine the behavior of therapeutic adherence in patients with HIV / AIDS in the Media Luna municipality in the period January - June 2018.
Methods:
a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out. The population was made up of 32 patients with HIV / AIDS, which constitute the totality of patients treated with this pathology in the municipality today. To obtain the information, documentary analysis was used from the review of clinical histories and medical records. In the information processing, the percentage calculation was used in the summary of the statistical information.
Results:
the predominance of the age group between 36 and 50 years of age stood out, with most of the patients male and pre-university school level, the most used treatment was orally and therapeutic adherence in most of the patients is adequate.
Conclusions:
therapeutic adherence behaves appropriately in most of the patients selected for the study, but work should be done systematically to include non-adherent patients.
