Therefore, the adherence of patient in taking ARV becomes an important factor for the success of therapy so that the opportunistic infection can be prevented. This study aims to determine the supporting and inhibiting factor in adherence to ARV treatment, especially for PLHIV who is taking first-line antiretroviral therapy.
