SUMMARY HIV-1 DNA exists in nonintegrated linear and circular episomal forms and as
integrated proviruses. In patients with plasma viremia, most peripheral blood mononuclear …

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) allows suppressed viremia to reach less than 50 copies/mL in
most treated persons living with HIV (PLWH). However, the existence of PLWH that show …

Abstract Background Maintaining plasma HIV RNA suppression below the limit of
quantification is the goal of antiretroviral therapy (ART). When viral loads (VL) remain in low …

Background People living with HIV (PLWH) and receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) have
a goal of achieving and maintaining viral suppression; however, low-level viraemia …

Objectives Our objective was to characterize longitudinal patterns of viraemia and factors
associated with viral suppression in people with HIV and low‐level viraemia (LLV) during …

Objectives WHO guidelines on ART define the HIV-1 viral load (VL) threshold for treatment
failure at 1000 copies/mL. The Switch Either near Suppression Or THOusand (SESOTHO) …

Background: Children living with HIV and taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) are a priority
group for routine viral load (VL) monitoring. As per Lesotho guidelines, a VL≥ 1000 …

Background There is a growing recognition of the impact of gender and the social
determinants of health on the clinical course of people living with HIV (PLHIV). However, the …

Objectives To determine the feasibility of HIV genotyping at low-level viraemia (LLV) using
an in-house assay in a South African population and the prevalence, as well as the clinical …

In individuals receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART), persistent low-level viraemia not
attributed to suboptimal ART adherence, detrimental pharmacological interactions, or drug …
