Why is highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) not prescribed or discontinued?

Article Abstract:

Many doctors do not prescribe highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) because they believe the patient will not take the drugs or might develop severe side effects. Side effects are also one of the reasons HAART is discontinued, according to the Swiss HIV Cohort Study.
