Correlation of Side Effects of ARV (Antiretroviral) Drugs with ARV Therapy Compliance in PLWHA at KDS Jombang Care Center Plus of Jombang Regency
Main Article Content
Abstract
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) attacks white blood cells, leading to a weakened
immune system. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) refers to the set of
symptoms caused by the decline in immunity due to HIV. Antiretroviral therapy (ART)
is used to suppress viral replication, with treatment success largely dependent on
adherence to therapy. However, side effects of antiretroviral drugs can negatively
impact adherence by causing unwanted symptoms that discourage patients from
continuing treatment. This study aims to analyze the correlation between the side effects
of antiretroviral drugs and adherence to antiretroviral therapy among people with
HIV/AIDS in the Jombang Care Center Plus Peer Support Community, Jombang
Regency. This study used a cross-sectional design with purposive sampling, involving
38 respondents. Adherence to ART was assessed using the Morisky Medication
Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8) questionnaire, while the side effects of antiretroviral
drugs were evaluated using the Group Clinical Trial AIDS questionnaire. Statistical
analysis was performed using Somers' D test. The Somers' D test showed a significant
correlation between the side effects of antiretroviral drugs and adherence to therapy (p =
0.002, p < 0.05). This study concludes that side effects of antiretroviral drugs are
significantly associated with adherence to antiretroviral therapy among people with
HIV/AIDS in the Jombang Care Center Plus Peer Support Community.
