Omer LiranRobert DasherKevin KaeochindaPublished in: Interactive journal of medical research (2019)
The findings suggest that the low-cost VR experience caused an increased rate of antiretroviral therapy adherence that resulted in a decrease of VL and an increase of CD4+. Further studies are required to explore the duration of this effect and whether these results are generalizable to other treatment settings and populations.
