In addition to inadequate illness control, medication nonadherence significantly increases the cost of healthcare[1]. However, there is a severe lack of formal adherence counseling as a focus of care. For patients with HIV and AIDS, we have employed a modified adherence measure that takes into account social background, treatment preparation, adherence behaviors, declaration of illness, usage of treatment partners, and assessment of potential adherence hurdles. Ninety-five (52.5%) of the one hundred and eighty-one were female, while 86 (47.5%) were men. Age was 50.83 years on average (SD: 12.54). Most of the patients (81.8%) were married and had completed at least their first year of school. 65% of the patients we spoke with had high blood pressure. One hundred and twelve (61.88%) people took drugs while going about their normal lives, such eating. The majority of the patients, 116(64.10%), were aware of their disease and the names of the medications they were taking. The majority of patients (72.4%) have told their spouses about their disease. Many patients claim that they stick to their regimen well. 72.4 percent of people had told their spouses about their sickness. Many patients say they adhere to their regimen well on their own.
