TL;DR
This study examines child psychosocial and caregiver/family factors influencing adherence to ART in perinatally human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected children to suggest that efforts to improve children's adherence to complex antiretroviral regimens requires addressing developmental, psychossocial and family factors.
Abstract
Our data suggest that efforts to improve children's adherence to complex antiretroviral regimens requires addressing developmental, psychosocial and family factors.

The Perceived Stress Scale showed adequate reliability and, as predicted, was correlated with life-event scores, depressive and physical symptomatology, utilization of health services, social anxiety, and smoking-reduction maintenance and was a better predictor of the outcome in question than were life- event scores.

JAMAReduction in Mortality With Availability of Antiretroviral Therapy for Children With Perinatal HIV-1 Infection
370 Citations2000Maurizio de Martino
Survival of perinatally HIV-infected children improved in 1996-1998 as a result of the introduction of combined antiretroviral therapies, suggesting a causal relationship between decreased risk of death and use of combination therapy.
PEDIATRICSReported Adherence as a Determinant of Response to Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy in Children Who Have Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection
292 Citations2002Russell B. Van Dyke, Sophia Lee +7 more
In children, reported adherence predicts the virologic response to HAART therapy and is a useful measure of adherence, and interventions and regimens to increase adherence should result in an improved outcome.
Journal of AsthmaPsychological Factors Associated with Medication Nonadherence in Asthmatic Children

Improved identification of the markers of nonadherence can directly facilitate more efficient targeting of behavioral interventions, resulting in improved adherence, better illness control, and less requirement of urgent medication intervention.

HAART can achieve control of viral replication in HIV-1-infected children who adhere to therapy, however, treatment failure is likely unless there is a high level of adherence, and lower success rates have been observed in practice.
