Unannounced telephone pill counts were done on HIV positive men and women, with 68 out of 89 participants receiving a second announced home visit.
There was a high level of agreement (92%) between the telephone pill count and the home pill count.
Patients viral load determined by blood specimens also corresponded strongly with the level of adherence determined by the telephone pill count.
