Hopes, joys and fears: Meaning and perceptions of viral load testing and low-level viraemia among people on antiretroviral therapy in Uganda: A qualitative study.

PLOS Global Public Health, 2023
Uganda applies the World Health Organization threshold of 1,000 copies/ml to determine HIV viral non-suppression. While there is an emerging concern of low-level viraemia (≥50 to

Near point-of-care HIV viral load testing: Cascade after high viral load in suburban Yangon, Myanmar

PLoS ONE, 2023
Introduction HIV viral load (VL) testing in resource-limited settings is often centralised, limiting access. In Myanmar, we assessed outcomes according to VL access and the VL cascade (case management after a first high VL result) before and after near ...

Modelling upper respiratory viral load dynamics of SARS-CoV-2

BMC Medicine, 2022
Relationships between viral load, severity of illness, and transmissibility of virus are fundamental to understanding pathogenesis and devising better therapeutic and prevention strategies for COVID-19. Here we present within-host modelling of viral load

Cumulative exposure to viremia: Methods for the implementation of standardized variables in longitudinal HIV studies

MethodsX, 2023
Measures of viremic exposure over time, including HIV viral copy-years or durable viremic suppression, may be more relevant measures of viral load exposure for comorbid outcomes and mortality than single time point viral load measures. However, there are
