Enhanced adherence counselling and viral load suppression in HIV seropositive patients with an initial high viral load in Harare, Zimbabwe: Operational issues.

PLoS ONE, 2019
BackgroundIn people living with HIV (PLHIV) who are on anti-retroviral therapy (ART), it is essential to identify persons with high blood viral loads (VLs) (≥1000 copies/ml), provide enhanced adherence counselling (EAC) for 3 months and assess for VL ...

Viral load suppression and associated factors following enhanced adherence counseling among people living with HIV/AIDS [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Persistent enhanced adherence counseling (EAC) is necessary to improve adherence and achieve viral load suppression, particularly for clients with a viral load above 1000 copies/ml. The main aim of the study is to assess the magnitude of viral

Nationwide Estimates of Viral Load Suppression and Acquired HIV Drug Resistance in Cameroon [PDF]

EClinicalMedicine, 2018
Population-based studies to estimate viral load (VL) suppression and rate of acquired HIV drug resistance (ADR) are essential in sub-Saharan Africa. We conducted the first nationally representative study estimating VL suppression and ADR in Cameroon.Eligible participants were patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) for 12 to 24 months (ART 12-24) or ...

Trends, magnitude and determinants of viral load suppression among HIV patients on highly active anti-retroviral therapy in Tigray region, Ethiopia: a retrospective study (2016–2024) [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Viral load suppression (VLS) is a critical marker of treatment success among people living with HIV (PLWH), yet prolonged conflict and health-system disruptions can undermine ART continuity and monitoring.

The effect of antiretroviral therapy adherence on viral load suppression rate among people living with HIV in Ethiopia: A systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
BackgroundAntiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence is a key determinant of viral load suppression among people living with HIV (PLHIV). In Ethiopia, evidence on the magnitude of ART adherence and its effect on virological outcomes remains fragmented.

Intact HIV DNA decays in children with and without complete viral load suppression. [PDF]

PLoS Pathog
To inform cure in children living with HIV (CWH), we elucidated the dynamics and mechanisms underlying HIV persistence during antiretroviral therapy (ART). In 120 Kenyan CWH who initiated ART between 1-12 months of age, 55 had durable viral load suppression, and 65 experienced ART interruptions. We measured plasma HIV RNA levels, CD4+ T cell count, and

Determinants of viral load suppression among adolescents on antiretroviral therapy in Eswatini: a cross-sectional study [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background The goal of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is to achieve a sustained HIV suppressed viral load. However, adolescents often present poor adherence to ART which is associated with lower rates of viral load suppression (VLS).
