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.

Early Retention in HIV Care and Viral Load Suppression [PDF]
JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes, 2012 After HIV diagnosis and linkage to care, achieving and sustaining viral load (VL) suppression has implications for patient outcomes and secondary HIV prevention. We evaluated factors associated with expeditious VL suppression and cumulative VL burden among patients establishing outpatient HIV care.Patients initiating HIV medical care from January 2007 ...

HIV-1 transmissions during asymptomatic infection : exploring the impact of changes in HIV-1 viral load due to coinfections [PDF]
, 2015 High HIV-1 plasma viral loads (PVLs) in sub-Saharan Africa, partly because of high rates of coinfection, may have been one of the drivers of the “explosive” epidemics seen in that region.

PLOS Global Public Health, 2023 Routine viral load (VL) monitoring is the standard of care in Côte d’Ivoire and allows for effective treatment guidance for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to reach viral load suppression (VLS). For VL monitoring to be effective in reducing the impact of HIV, it must be provided in accordance with national guidance.

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.

Violence Screening and Viral Load Suppression Among HIV-Positive Women of Color [PDF]
AIDS Patient Care and STDs, 2015 Recent research suggests intimate partner violence (IPV) is commonly experienced by many people living with HIV/AIDS, which can complicate their care. We introduce a novel approach to screening for history of violence among 102 women of color living with HIV and receiving care at an outpatient public health clinic. Using a composite measure composed of
