HIV/AIDS Medical Trials HAART Analysis

The literature suggests that HAART is an effective treatment protocol that can retard the progression of HIV, sustain life, and offset AIDS symptomology. However, HAART is generally delivered only under conditions wherein clinical and laboratory infrastructure is seen as sufficient to provide for the close monitoring of patients' compliance with the therapeutic regimen. HAART is a costly and complex treatment protocol and there is evidence of some resistance on the part of HIV patients' immune systems to its influence.

Efforts to enhance the accessibility of this treatment strategy are highly recommended but there are many barriers to implementing a broad-based global HAART treatment and intervention strategy. The study draws upon the literature to emphasize the necessity of creating a more comprehensive approach to addressing the resource deficits of both individuals and service providers who are coping with the AIDS pandemic.

This is often true in the United States and Venezuela as well, where Arevalo, Mendoza, and Ferretti (2003) state that HAART treatment is being used effectively, but with limited results because of financial and access issues. In both Venezuela and the United States, health care for the poor and uninsured is generally provided by organizations such as the Ryan White CARE initiative and nongovernmental or public health agencies that administer HAART. Bogaards and Goudsmit (2003) have stated that public health organizations in most locations have been relatively slow and perhaps even hesitant to begin wide-scale implementation of the HAART protocol. This may be related to concerns regarding feasibility and the sustainability of HAART in resource-poor settings. Clinical opinion leaders as described by Bogaards and Goudsmit (2003) begin with the underl
