Viremia Trajectories of HIV in HIV-Positive Women in the United States, 1994-2017.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Viral suppression of HIV is an important treatment goal to decrease morbidity, mortality, and risk of transmission to others.

Objective

To characterize longitudinal HIV viral load outcomes among women enrolled in the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS).

Design, setting, and participants

A prospective cohort study of HIV-positive women with semiannual study visits and a minimum of 5 follow-up visits was conducted from 1994 to 2017. The WIHS sites included in this analysis are in Brooklyn and Bronx, New York; Chicago, Illinois; San Francisco, California; and Washington, DC.

Main outcomes and measures

Women were categorized into groups based on their probability of achieving viral load suppression below 200 copies/mL using logistic trajectory modeling.
