Cost effectiveness of a computer-delivered intervention to improve HIV medication adherence.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High levels of adherence to medications for HIV infection are essential for optimal clinical outcomes and to reduce viral transmission, but many patients do not achieve required levels. Clinician-delivered interventions can improve patients' adherence, but usually require substantial effort by trained individuals and may not be widely available.

The intervention was shown to increase patients' adherence, but it was not clear that the ben
