One particularly vulnerable population for HIV treatment non-adherence is persons with poor health literacy skills. For these individuals, it is important to simplify medication taking as much as possible by integrating medication adherence into other routine health behaviors. This study aims to ascertain the relationship between medication adherence and other health behaviors. Adults living with HIV (N = 422) completed intake measures and 3 months of unannounced pill counts. Endorsement of diet and exercise behaviors at intake predicted higher medication adherence, over and above other known predictors of medication adherence such as HIV symptoms, depression, social support, and stress. These results support integrating strategies for medication management into a constellation of routine health practices.
健康素养技能较差的人群是一类特别容易出现艾滋病毒治疗不依从情况的群体。对于这些人而言，通过将服药依从性融入其他日常健康行为来尽可能简化服药过程非常重要。本研究旨在确定服药依从性与其他健康行为之间的关系。422名感染艾滋病毒的成年人完成了初始测量以及为期3个月的不定期药丸计数。在初始阶段对饮食和运动行为的认可预示着更高的服药依从性，超过了其他已知的服药依从性预测因素，如艾滋病毒症状、抑郁、社会支持和压力。这些结果支持将药物管理策略融入一系列常规健康实践中。
