Abstract

The success of antiretroviral (ARV) treatment is inseparable from the patient’s adherence in treatment. The level of non-adherence with taking ARV drugs is still high in Indonesia, which is around 21.03%. This study aims to analyse the role of patient characteristics, family support and peer / peer support for treatment adherence in people with HIV / AIDS (PLWHA) in the city of Cirebon. This study uses an observational study method with cross sectional design to see the factors that play a role in the level of adherence with treatment in PLWHA. Data collection is done by simple random sampling. The number of respondents was 108 people PLWHA from RSUD Gunung Jati city of Cirebon. The results of multivariate analysis with logistic regression showed that the factors most contributing to treatment adherence with PLWHA were peer support (p value = 0.008 and OR = 4.748), family support (p value = 0.019 and OR = 5.386) and age (p value = 0.074 and OR = 2.753). The conclusion drawn from this study is the role of group support, family support and young age for adherence to treatment for PLWHA in Cirebon.
