The purpose of this prospective pilot study was to examine the relationship between the level of readiness for health behavior change and adherence by HIV-positive males (n = 19) who had previously failed treatment due to nonadherence. Participants completed the Index of Readiness (IR), an instrument measuring readiness to initiate health behavior change, prior to beginning new antiretroviral medications. After 6 months, participants were divided into two mutually exclusive groups: those who reached and sustained viral suppression and those who did not. Participants who experienced and sustained viral suppression had statistically significantly higher scores on the Identification of Barriers/Creating Strategies subscale of the IR compared to participants who did not reach viral suppression. Results from this preliminary study indicate that readiness may be a key component in successful adherence and that the IR may be a useful tool in assessing readiness for adherence to antiretroviral medications.

PREVIEW Viral diseases are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in elderly patients, whether they live in the community or in long-term care facilities. Management of viral infections in older adults is complicated by factors that include the infrequency or absence of common signs and symptoms of infection and adverse drug reactions. In this article, Drs Bader and McKinsey discuss the clinical features and treatment of herpes zoster and the respiratory diseases caused by influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

Background: Non-adherence to antiretroviral (ART) treatment remains a prevalent problem even among the segment of the U.S. HIV population that is ‘linked’ to medical care. Methods: Controlled pilot feasibility study with ART experienced adult patients (n = 20) linked to HIV medical care without suppressed viral load. Patients were randomized to a peer-led HIV medication adherence intervention named `Ready or a time equivalent `healthy eating control arm. Lay individuals living with HIV were trained to facilitate `Ready. Results: Patients had been prescribed a mean of three prior ART regimens. The group randomized to `Ready had significantly improved adherence. MEMS and pharmacy refill data correlated with viral load log drop. Higher readiness for healthful behavior change correlated with viral load drop and approached significance. Conclusion: A peer-led medication adherence intervention had a positive impact among adults who had experienced repeated non-adherence to HIV treatment. A larger study is needed to examine intervention dissemination and efficacy.

Histoplasma polysaccharide antigen testing is used routinely to diagnose histoplasmosis. At least 3 antigen tests are commercially available. Controversy exists about the relative accuracy of these tests. We report 2 patients with AIDS and culture-confirmed Histoplasma capsulatum meningitis from whom discrepant Histoplasma polysaccharide antigen results were obtained from different laboratories and discuss the potential clinical implications of these results.
