Adherence

Research has shown that the most effective suppression of HIV occurs when all medication is taken at the right time, in the right dose every day.

Missing a dose means that the virus is not being suppressed as much as it should be and so has the opportunity to replicate. HIV replication provides more chances for the virus to mutate and therefore become resistant to therapy.
