This manual is designed for health workers, including physicians, clinical officers, and adherence nurse counselors, who work in antiretroviral therapy (ART) programs and have received some training on antiretroviral medications.

For example, in Mombasa, the first module was introduced on day two of a five-day ART training course, with each additional module covered on days two, three, four, and five. Module 1 provides a background to adherence issues and is relevant for all health workers involved in ART service delivery. Modules 2, 3, and 4 focus on adherence management of patients on ART and are designed for adherence nurse counselors, but physicians may also benefit from attending, particularly the Module 2 session.
