Risk factors for unsuppressed viral load after intensive adherence counseling among HIV infected persons in Kampala, Uganda: a nested case–control study

AIDS Research and Therapy, 2023
Background Intensive adherence counseling (IAC) is the global standard of care for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) who have unsuppressed VL after ≥ 6 months of first-line anti-retroviral therapy (ART).

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 ...

Viral Load Suppression after Enhanced Adherence Counseling and Its Predictors among High Viral Load HIV Seropositive People in North Wollo Zone Public Hospitals, Northeast Ethiopia, 2019: Retrospective Cohort Study

AIDS Research and Treatment, 2020
Background. The World Health Organization currently encourages enhanced adherence counseling for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositive people with a high viral load count before a treatment switch to the second-line regimen, yet little is known

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

Viral load detection and management on first line ART in rural Rwanda

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background To achieve the ambitious 90–90-90 UNAIDS targets, access to routine viral load (VL) is critical. To measure VL, Rwanda has relied on a national reference laboratory for years.

Enterovirus genomic load and disease severity among children hospitalised with hand, foot and mouth disease

EBioMedicine, 2020
Background: Examining associations between viral genomic loads of enteroviruses and clinical severity is important for promoting and improving development of antiviral drugs related to hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD).

The relationship between COVID‐19 viral load and disease severity: A systematic review

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2022
Introduction Patients with COVID‐19 may present different viral loads levels. However, the relationship between viral load and disease severity in COVID‐19 is still unknown.

Benefit of viral load testing for confirmation of immunological failure in HIV patients treated in rural Malawi. [PDF]

, 2011
Objective  Viral load testing is used in the HIV programme of Chiradzulu, Malawi, to confirm the diagnosis of immunological failure to prevent unnecessary switching to second-line therapy.

Viral dynamics during structured treatment interruptions of chronic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection [PDF]

, 2002
Although antiviral agents which block human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication can result in long-term suppression of viral loads to undetectable levels in plasma, long-term therapy fails to eradicate virus, which generally rebounds after a single ...

Switching to second-line antiretroviral therapy in resource-limited settings: comparison of programmes with and without viral load monitoring. [PDF]

, 2009
In high-income countries, viral load is routinely measured to detect failure of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and guide switching to second-line ART. Viral load monitoring is not generally available in resource-limited settings. We examined switching from
