Poor antiretroviral medication adherence during adherence-enhancement counseling session, first viral load ≥10,000 copies/mL, and recent history of opportunistic infection were predictors of virological failure. Therefore, efforts should be strengthened to improve adherence to antiretroviral medication, which helps to boost immunity and suppress viral replication.
