Introduction: Men are missing along the HIV care continuum. However, the estimated
proportions of men in sub-Saharan Africa meeting the UNAIDS 95-95-95 goals vary …

Background Due to the high prevalence of resistance to NNRTI-based ART since 2018,
consolidated recommendations from the WHO have indicated dolutegravir as the preferred …

Abstract Background Maintaining plasma HIV RNA suppression below the limit of
quantification is the goal of antiretroviral therapy (ART). When viral loads (VL) remain in low …

Objective This study aims to assess viral suppression and associated factors among
children tested for HIV viral load at the Amhara Public Health Institute, Dessie Branch …

Background Viral load (VL) testing in people living with HIV (PLHIV) helps to monitor
antiretroviral therapy (ART). VL is still largely tested using central laboratory‐based …

Introduction In many low‐and middle‐income countries, HIV viral load (VL) testing occurs at
centralized laboratories and time‐to‐result‐delivery is lengthy, preventing timely monitoring …

There is a heavy burden of liver disease in West Africa. While the role of hepatitis B virus
(HBV) infection is well recognized, less is known about the contributing role of liver steatosis …

Male genital schistosomiasis (MGS) is hypothesized to increase seminal shedding of HIV-1.
This prospective pilot study assessed seminal HIV-1 RNA shedding in men on long-term …

Background Scaling up continuous quality improvement (CQI) processes could be key in
achieving the 95: 95: 95 cascade and global HIV targets. This paper describes the …

Point-of-Care for HIV viral RNA quantification seems to be a complementary strategy to the
existing conventional systems. This study evaluated the performance of the m-PIMA™ …
