bART adherence was assessed with the following item: “What percent of your prescribed HIV medication have you taken in the last 60 days (or about the last 2 months)? This may not be 100% for many people (eg, 0% means you have taken no medication, 50% means you have taken half your medication, 100% means you have taken every single dose of medication and at your usual scheduled time). If you’re unsure, make a best guess” with a pulldown menu of percentages from 0-100% with response options at 1% increments.
