HIV Treatment Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale (HIV-ASES)

The HIV-ASES is a 12-item measure used to measure social and psychological determinants of adherence to HAART among HIV-positive individuals (Johnson et al., 2007). The scale measures a patient’s confidence in carrying out important treatment-related behaviors related to adhering to treatment plans, including medication regimen adherence and following plans for nutrition and exercise in the face of barriers.
