Problem or Need:
Patients on Anti-Retroviral Treatment (ART) often cease treatment, run out of drugs or simply forget to see the doctor regularly. When this happens, patients often build up resistance against ART, and it becomes harder to find a treatment combination that will effectively contain the spread of HIV in the body. If patients go to see the doctor regularly, their disease can be better managed.
