Experimental: VIH-TAVIE
Patients assigned to this arm must follow the four interactive computer sessions

The tailored virtual intervention is composed of four interactive computer sessions hosted by a virtual nurse who engages the PLHIV in a medication-intake self-management skills-learning process.


Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Adherence [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Adherence will be evaluated through a self-administered questionnaire that was developed for and validated on the targeted population (Godin, Gagné, & Naccache, 2003). The questionnaire comprises seven items that serve to determine how many times a person forgets to take his or her medication. The questionnaire's validity was demonstrated (sensitivity: 71 %; specificity: 72%; correct classification: 72%; odds ratio: 6.15) using immunologic (CD4 count) and virologic (viral load) parameters as validation criteria. Adherence is defined as the intake of at least 95% of prescribed tablets.
