The House of adherence is a community center for patient education, promotion of health and readiness to return to active social life of people living with HIV/AIDS on ARV therapy. In contrast with brief and timely aid to compliance, the specificity of home monitoring is to provide a temporary withdrawal of the living environment which can involve deeper and more lasting quality lives of PLWHA.
