Assessing the relationship between physician availability and viral load suppression in British Columbia [PDF]

Canadian Geographies / Géographies canadiennes, 2017
Key Messages Individuals residing in areas where there are substantially fewer physicians available to provide HIV treatment have a higher chance of not achieving viral suppression. Individuals residing in rural areas have poorer health outcomes when compared to those residing in urban areas.

The long-term effects of a family based economic empowerment intervention (Suubi+Adherence) on suppression of HIV viral loads among adolescents living with HIV in southern Uganda: Findings from 5-year cluster randomized trial [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: The rapid scale-up of HIV therapy across Africa has failed to adequately engage adolescents living with HIV (ALWHIV). Retention and viral suppression for this group (ALWHIV) is 50% lower than for adults.

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 ...

High levels of viral load monitoring and viral suppression under Treat All in Rwanda – a cross‐sectional study [PDF]

Journal of the International AIDS Society, 2020
AbstractIntroductionAiming to reach UNAIDS 90‐90‐90 targets, nearly all sub‐Saharan African countries have expanded antiretroviral therapy (ART) to all people living with HIV (PLWH) (Treat All). Few published data exist on viral load testing and viral suppression under Treat All in this region.
