HIV/AIDS Nursing Certification Board, HANCB:"HANCB has developed protocols for re-certification requirements to ensure ACRNs have continued to maintain competence and/or expand their HIV/AIDS knowledge base within the four (4) year certification/re-certification period. There are two (2) ways a nurse may re-certify as an ACRN. The first is by re-examination. The second is by continuing education credits. Re-certification protocols will be reviewed by the Re-Certification Committee at least once a year to determine if the requirements are complete and meet the goals of maintaining competence and/or enhancing HIV/AIDS nursing practice."

The Pills Identification Test: A Tool to Assess Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy, Journal of the American Medical Association:"To the Editor: Adherence to antiretroviral (ARV) treatment among patients with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection is a key issue in controlling viral replication1 and preventing progression to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) or death.2 Assessment of adherence by prescribers often results in overestimating the patient's level of adherence.3 Therefore, simple and reliable tools to independently assess adherence are needed."
