The acceptability of a directly-administered antiretroviral therapy (Daart) intervention among patients in public HIV clinics in Los Angeles, California
Directly administered antiretroviral therapy (DAART) is an intensive adherence support strategy for highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) that requires patient acceptance to be effective. In one arm of a randomized adherence study, community workers (CW) delivered and observed ingestion of one HAART dose to participants five days a week for six months.
