title: Comparative evaluation of adherence to antiretroviral therapy in sub-Saharan African native HIV-infected patients in France and Africa.
abstract: Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection who were native to sub-Saharan Africa but lived in France were less adherent to antiretroviral therapy during a visit back to Africa, compared with their level of adherence in France. This was mainly related to self-perceived insufficient support from family members and/or fear of the consequences of disclosure of their HIV infection status to their family.
