TL;DR
How people with HIV understand and experience the problem of adhering to antiretroviral medication regimens is described to ensure that patients understand the consequences of not meeting an appropriate standard.
Abstract
Many people rationalize their difficulty in adhering to HIV treatment by deciding that the standard of adherence they can readily achieve is appropriate. Physicians should inquire about adherence-related behavior in specific detail, and ensure that patients understand the consequences of not meeting an appropriate standard.

Psychological ReviewSelf-efficacy: Toward a unifying theory of behavioral change.
35,454 Citations1977Albert Bandura
An integrative theoretical framework to explain and to predict psychological changes achieved by different modes of treatment is presented and findings are reported from microanalyses of enactive, vicarious, and emotive mode of treatment that support the hypothesized relationship between perceived self-efficacy and behavioral changes.

1,009 Citations1992Lesley F. Degner, Jeffrey A. Sloan
It is suggested that the impact of being diagnosed with a life-threatening illness may influence preferences to participate, and the majority of patients and members of the public wanted their physician and family to share responsibility for decision making if they were too ill to participate.

813 Citations1985Peter Conrad
It is argued that from a patient's perspective the issue is more one of self-regulation than compliance, and what appears to be noncompliance from a medical perspective may actually be a form of asserting control over one's disorder.

A relatively low level of adherence to antiretroviral therapy and PCP prophylactic regimens was found, and these findings may have important implications for patients receiving highly active antireteviral therapy (HAART).

High compliance with zidovudine was achieved by HIV-infected patients in a municipal hospital clinic, many of whom had a history of intravenous drug use and may be enhanced by a patient's belief that it prolongs life and the use of a medication timer for proper dosing.

153 Citations1998
The goal of this supplement is to assist clinicians and patients in making informed decisions about treatment options so that effective antiretroviral therapy is introduced before extensive immune system damage has occurred and viral load monitoring is used as an essential tool in determining an HIV-infected person's risk for disease progression and response to antirefiltration therapy.
JAMAProtease Inhibitors in the Homeless
143 Citations1997David R. Bangsberg
The standard of care for HIV-infected patients has quickly become combination antiretroviral therapy with a protease inhibitor, and the term "Lazarus effect" has been used to describe the return to functional status of some patients with end-stage acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

142 Citations1994Barbara Broers
Injecting drug users tend to delay the start of zidovudine treatment, but once they have started, their compliance is no worse than the compliance of patients from other risk groups, which has important implications for clinical trials, medical care, and public health.

142 Citations1998Barron H. Lerner, Roy M. Gulick +1 more
It is argued that history provides two major lessons for clinicians struggling with triple-drug therapy and nonadherence, and an approach that discourages labeling and emphasizes active patient participation in therapy will avoid judgmental and inaccurate assessments of patient behavior and may help HIV-positive patients take medications more successfully.

Findings indicate that efforts to support AIDS secondary prevention behaviors can occur not only through health education to change the perceptions of at-risk communities about the options available to delay the onset of opportunistic infections among HIV-seropositive individuals but also by enhancing effective doctor/patient communication.
