Note:

Numbers might not add to the total because of missing data. “Dose adherent” was defined as taking 100% of prescribed ART doses in the past 3 days, “schedule adherent” was defined as taking all ART doses according to one’s prescribed schedule in the past 3 days (e.g., 2 times a day), and “instruction adherent” was defined as following all special instructions for taking their antiretroviral medicines in the past 3 days (e.g., take with food). Instruction adherence was calculated only for participants who had special instructions for taking medications. N=unweighted sample size; All percentages were weighted.
