Associations of First-Year Low-Level Viremia with Subsequent Viral Non-Suppression in People Living with HIV on Antiretroviral Therapy - Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China, 2008-2021.

ABSTRACT:

What is already known about this topic?

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) low-level viremia (LLV) during antiretroviral therapy (ART) occurs frequently in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province.

What is added by this report?

Among people living with HIV who achieved virological success [viral load (VL) <1,000 copies/mL] after initiating ART in Dehong Prefecture, Southwest China, 17.6% experienced first-year LLV of 50-999 copies/mL First-year LLV emerged as an independent risk factor for subsequent viral non-suppression compared with participants maintaining first-year VL <50 copies/mL.

What are the implications for public health practice?

Enhanced monitoring and interventions for early LLV occurrence during the first year of ART are essential, i
