Predictors of longitudinal viral load suppression among adults receiving first line antiretroviral therapy in Central Ethiopia.

ABSTRACT: HIV/AIDS continues to be a major global public health issue and a significant cause of death. While the WHO advocates for viral load testing as the primary approach to monitor treatment and detect antiretroviral therapy (ART) failure, the factors affecting viral load trends are frequently neglected. This study exclusively analyzes viral load trajectories, identifying predictors of virological suppression independent of adverse outcomes. This study aimed to assess predictors of longitudinal viral load suppression HIV patients on first-line ART in Central Ethiopia: a mixed-effects analysis. A retrospective follow-up study was conducted in public hospital in Central Ethiopia. A total of 376 adult patients who started first-line ART and had at least two viral load measurements between March 1,
