Implication

Retrospective study reveals high rates of HIV virological non-suppression in adolescents and adults on antiretroviral therapy, highlighting the need for improved adherence counseling.

Key Points

Assess the prevalence of HIV virological non-suppression and evaluate associated clinical and demographic risk factors among adolescents and adults on antiretroviral therapy.
Conducted a retrospective study among adolescents and adults receiving antiretroviral therapy in northern Ethiopia.
Assessed associations between viral non-suppression and patient characteristics, including sex, WHO clinical stage, and therapy adherence.
Virological non-suppression rates were high, posing a major barrier to reaching the UNAIDS third 90 target.
Male sex, WHO clinical stage II, and poor antiretroviral therapy adherence were significantly associated with viral non-suppression.
High rates of non-suppression highlight a critical need to characterize antiretroviral drug resistance patterns.
