I already know what a study will find, that HIV patients have a very
difficult time adhering to their medication schedule.  After all, we
are talking about the same group of people that have trouble adhering
to wearing a condom each and every time they have sex.  Naturally,
all study participants will say they "faithfully" adhere to their
medication schedule, but like those gays who claim the same thing when
asked about condom use, if pressed sufficiently the "always" becomes
"usually," followed by "often" and "sometimes" to "never."  My stoopid
tard of a brother "always" practiced safe sex, but that wasn't really
true at all and so he now has AIDS and his assurances that he was
"always" taking his HIV meds regularly were soon discovered to be
"sometimes" followed by "never" until the anal warts would break out
and encourage him to start taking his meds again.  So for the last 6
months, mommie dearest has been babysitting him and forcing him to
take his pills and watching him swallow them each time because he is
such a pathological liar.

Outside of an institutional setting, where HIV patients are monitored
to make sure they actually swallow their pills each and every time
without exception, no study is going to discover actual real-world
compliance rates because they will either lie outright or in their
typical drugged-out stupor they will honestly forget whether they
took their pills or not.  Sounds like just another waste of taxpayer
money.
