Antiretroviral therapy is reduced the rate of HIV transmission in the community, morbidity and mortality associated with HIV. It can improve the quality of life, restore and maintain the immune function by suppressing viral replication maximally and continuously.

The type of research is observational analytic with cross sectional approach. The sampling technique used was total sampling of 46 respondents. Data were collected by using questionnaire through interview. Data analysis was done by bivariate and multivariate. The results showed that factors affecting ARV drug adherence are ARV therapy guidelines (p = 0,000, OR = 24.0; 95% CI = 7,9-12,4), coexistent disease characteristics (p = 0.001; OR = 6.66, 95% CI = 1.6-22.2), and family support (p = 0.001; OR = 4.4; 95% CI = 1.3-12.4). This study demonstrates the importance of health counseling to improve adherence to antiretroviral drugs.
