Abstract
Effective management of people living with HIV/AIDS is influenced by adherence to both medical appointments, as well as adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART). Successful adherence to both components has been linked to viral load suppression in affected patients, leading to a better quality of life. Recent studies have utilized mobile health (mHealth) interventions to promote adherence. These interventions include SMS/texting, as well as mobile applications that have been developed specifically for the purposes of promoting adherence. Using a scoping literature review the authors investigated the effect of mobile health (mHealth) interventions delivered via SMS/text on HIV viral load suppression, adherence to medication regimen and to medical appointments. The authors employed a scoping review methodology. A bibliographic librarian guided the data search. Studies were limited to interventions conducted in the United States. A total of 16 studies met the criteria and were included in the scoping literature review.
