    Ziad El-Khatib started a discussion "Can MEMS be used in research in a low/middle-income country settings?" in the Adherence & Retention community.

    Thanks Mona! I presented this article for a journal club before. I saw literature using MEMS in Uganda to assess adherence-viral load etc.. The question is how often patients use the bottle in a middle-income country settings versus using another way to carry their pills in a subtle way (like putting them in a tissue paper on daily basis or small plastic bag etc..), any literature discussing it? Thanks for your kind consideration. ziad

Any tips? Best regards ziad - Kamya, MR et.al., JAIDS, Predictors of long-term viral failure among Ugandan children and ...

    Ziad El-Khatib started a discussion "Adherence level and d4T side effects" in the Adherence & Retention community.

    Hi! Not sure how to put this question in a good way; meant to confirm if there has been any literature looking at what level of adherence can push d4T toxicity, i.e. if the person can explain showing toxicity to patients adhering well to ARVs? Best regards ziad
