A high incidence of virological failure was noticed. The rate of virological failure was higher for patients who had poor ART adherence, small CD4count, and TB co-infection. Therefore, targeted HIV care interventions shall be provided to young ages and efforts stepped up to improve adherence to ART, which helps to increase immunity and suppress viral replication. In addition, prevention and early detection of TB co-infection are crucial to the patients.
