Background HIV viral load (VL) is an important indicator to monitor treatment response in antiretroviral therapy (ART). Patients on ART may experience viral blips, with low-level elevations of VL between 50 and 999 copies/mL known as low-level viraemia ...

Predicting Virologic Failure in an HIV Clinic [PDF]
Abstract Background . We sought to use data captured in the electronic health record (EHR) to develop and validate a prediction rule for virologic failure among patients being treated for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Methods .

Performance of Immunological Response in Predicting Virological Failure [PDF]
In HIV-infected individuals on antiretroviral therapy (ART), the decision on when to switch from first-line to second-line therapy is dictated by treatment failure, and this can be measured in three ways: clinically, immunologically, and virologically.

Early and Late Virologic Failure After Virologic Suppression in HIV-Infected Asian Children and Adolescents [PDF]
Background: Virologic failure is a major threat to maintaining effective combination antiretroviral therapy, especially for children in need of lifelong treatment. With efforts to expand access to HIV viral load testing, our understanding of pediatric virologic failure is evolving. Setting:

Outcomes of a remote, decentralized health center-based HIV/AIDS antiretroviral program in Zambia, 2003 to 2007 [PDF]
A cross-sectional study of patients living with HIV/ AIDS treated during 2003 to 2007 in decentralized, rural health centers in Zambia was performed to measure virological outcomes after 12 months of antiretroviral therapy and identify factors associated

The role of targeted viral load testing in diagnosing virological failure in children on antiretroviral therapy with immunological failure. [PDF]
Objectives To determine the improvement in positive predictive value of immunological failure criteria for identifying virological failure in HIV-infected children on antiretroviral therapy (ART) when a single targeted viral load measurement is ...
