Factors Associated with Viral Suppression Among Adolescents on Antiretroviral Therapy in Homa Bay County, Kenya: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study.

Published in: HIV/AIDS (Auckland, N.Z.) (2021)

Viral suppression for adolescents on ART in this study is significantly higher than the national prevalence in 2016 (80% vs 63%), but it is still below the WHO target of 90%. Enhanced adherence support for adolescents on ART should be implemented to improve long-term adherence. Specific interventions are needed to "rescue" adolescents on second-line ART regimens who may have a history of poor adherence.
