Summary

This study explores whether measuring HIV drugs in hair can reliably detect when patients miss their medications. Currently, doctors rely on blood tests or patient reports, which can miss long-term non-adherence. Researchers will collect hair samples from 30 HIV-positive adults on stable treatment to see if drug levels in hair segments match their reported adherence. If successful, this could provide a simple, non-invasive way to monitor medication compliance.
