Objective. Study of the risk factors for non-compliance with treatment of HIV-infected women from 4 CIS countries.
Materials and methods. Results of a questionnaire of 380 women are reported. The average age of respondents was 35.4 years, 70% of women had secondary or advanced education, 42.1% worked, 40.1% were housewives. The period of living with HIV averaged 4.7 years, 42.6% of women had been living with HIV for 5 years or more.
Results. The respondents from Uzbekistan considered the risks related to personal barriers (22.7%), fears and concerns related to family members (22.7%), memory and attention (18.2%) to be the most significant. The respondents from Kyrgyzstan had fears associated with a change in family relations (50%), interruption of ART deliveries (16.7%), drug side effects (11.1%). The respondents from Belarus considered the use of psychoactive substances (25%), limit access to ART (25%), memory and attention (25%) to be the most significant. In Armenia, 27.3% of respondents identified memory and attention as risks, 27.3% were afraid of side effects from drugs, 18.2% identified «stress» and «emotions».
Conclusion. Questionnaire is an affordable practical method for identifying the risks of non-compliance with treatment. The multimodality of the identified risks of non-compliance requires the adoption and implementation of a multi-professional approach to minimize them.
