ART adherence and IDU status at last follow-up visit. Figure 3 illustrates the IDU status (drug free or active) of the subjects at their last follow-up visit stratified by their ART clinic appointment attendance. Being drug free was associated with better adherence/retention where 27/40 (67.5%) of the group with 100% clinic attendance were drug free, 6/13 (46.2%) of the group that attended most, but not all of their visits were drug free, and none 0/7 (00.0%) of the group that stopped ART and their clinic appointments before the end of the 8 month follow-up period were drug free (P = 0.002).
