HIV/AIDS is a disease for which no cure has yet been found. However, there is an effective treatment to manage the virus, known as Antiretroviral Therapy (ART). Consistent ART can suppress the amount of HIV virus to undetectable levels. People living with HIV (PLHIV) who achieve viral suppression maintain a strong immune system, enjoy a better quality of life, and have a lower likelihood of transmitting the virus to sexual partners. To achieve optimal viral suppression, at least 95% of all doses must be taken over a month, meaning a maximum tolerance for missed doses is three times per month. The number of new HIV/AIDS cases in Palembang City has been increasing each year. In 2021, there were 142 new cases; in 2022, this expand to 353 individuals; and in 2023, it further increased to 423 individuals. This study is a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design aimed at assessing adherence levels to medication. The research shows that 72% of PLHIV adhere to ART treatment, while 28% did not. The characteristics of PLHIV at the VCT Polyclinic of RS Mohammad Hoesin Palembang indicate that the majority are male, aged 35-39 years, educated up to high school level, work as entrepreneurs, and have partners who are also living with HIV. Most PLHIV at this clinic are compliant with ART treatment.
