In CDC HIV/Hepatitis/STD/TB Prevention News Update, from U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - High Adherence May Become Less Essential the Longer a Patient Maintains Viral Suppression on HAART, Findings Suggest (February 11, 2009)
Maximum adherence should always remain a goal when taking HAART. However, patients with sustained viral suppression on HAART are highly likely to maintain that viral suppression even in the face of adherence rates much lower than 95%, reports David Bangsberg, M.D., M.P.H.

If a person is taking "older" antiretrovirals and misses more than one dose a week, his or her treatment will probably lose effectiveness within the next few years, Canadian researchers find.
