Retrospective analysis of adherence to HIV treatment and healthcare utilization in a commercially insured population.

ART adherence showed room for improvement, particularly over the long term. PLHIV receiving STRs exhibited higher adherence vs those receiving MTRs; this difference increased over time. The proportion of PLHIV with higher HRU was significantly higher among those with lower adherence and became greater over time. Interventions and alternative therapies to improve adherence among PLHIV should be explored.
