Effectiveness is defined as the probability of preventing HIV-1 transmission per sex-act through PrEP and is given by the product of the average efficacy of PrEP, ξ (the degree of protection provided, from HIV-1 transmission per sex-act) and the average level of adherence to PrEP, θ (assuming once daily dosing and that doses are missed at random).
Effectiveness is defined as the probability of preventing HIV transmission per sex-act through PrEP and is given by the product of the average efficacy of PrEP, ξ (the degree of protection provided, from HIV transmission per sex-act) and the average level of adherence to PrEP, θ (assuming once daily dosing of a single antiretroviral drug and that doses are missed at random).
The mean competence level for the therapy sessions that each patient received was moderate (M = 2.9, SD = .52, on a scale that ranges from 0 to 6), as was the average level of adherence (M = 3.7, SD = .85, on a scale that ranges from 0 to 6).

Analyses showed that the magnitude of the intervention's effect was related to a patient's baseline level of adherence but averaged an increase of 10% [ 45] in patients with baseline adherence less than 85%, similar to the increase obtained in a study of a similar intervention among elderly patients with memory impairments [ 46].
