Detection of antiretrovirals in transgender women with HIV is not altered by hair treatments

Abstract

This study evaluated the detection of ARVs in hair samples from TW with HIV in Argentina. Results suggest that hair collection is acceptable to TW; that adherence measured by detection of ARVs in hair was high; and that ARVs can be detected in hair even in the context of hair treatments.
