HIV

Adherence

Adhering (sticking to) your treatment regime reduces the chance of mutant strains of HIV being produced.  This is important because certain treatments are less effective against specific mutant strains of HIV.
  
Adhering to a drug regime means that all the drugs within your HIV treatment combination must be taken at the right dose, at the right time and as prescribed by your doctor (this could be with or without food or drink).
