    [EN] What is known and objective: Antiretroviral treatment (ART) is hampered by complicated regimens, high pill burden, drug–drug interactions, and frequent short- and long-term adverse effects, leading to decreased adherence. Over recent years, considerable effort has been directed at developing regimens that are less burdening. We undertook a 7-year retrospective study of the records of 264 HIV-infected subjects enrolled in a pharmaceutical care programme to document the progress made and to study the influence of the number of ART pills and doses on the level of treatment adherence. Methods: Antiretroviral dispensing records were analysed for the number of pills and doses administered and the ART adherence rate estimated. Results and discussion: In 2005, the patients took a mean of 6 2 pills daily (CI 95%: 5 9–6 6), and 92 9% of them were on a twice-a-day (BID) dosage regimen. By 2012, the mean number of pills was reduced to 4 1 (CI 95%: 3 8–4 4), and only 50 9% were on a BID regimen. No statistically significant relation was observed between number of daily pills and doses and ART adherence reached by the patients in any of the analyses performed. What is new and conclusions: There has been a continuous reduction in the number of pills and doses of antiretrovirals taken by individual patients over the last 7 years due largely to the introduction of improved treatments and regimens. More daily pills or doses was not associated with worse ART adherence in our pharmaceutical care programme

       The contribution of this study is the multidimensional approachon patterns of drug use among young people. The data come fromthe study ”Factors that influence the consumption of drugs, juvenilepopulation. Central region of the West” from Costa Rica, 2006. Onthe basis of the results obtained with a latent class model, 8 sub-groups of individuals settle down according to the consumption ofdifferent drugs.La aportación de este estudio es la aproximación multidimen-sional sobre patrones de consumo de drogas en jóvenes. Los datosprovienen del estudio “Factores que inciden en el consumo de dro-gas, población juvenil. Región Central de Occidente” de Costa Rica,2006. Con base en los resultados obtenidos con un modelo de claseslatentes, se establecen 8 subgrupos de individuos según el consumode las diferentes drogas
