dc.description.abstract | HIV is a significant global public health concern, with approximately 38 million individuals living with HIV by the end of 2021 globally. Zambia has a high HIV burden, with an adult prevalence of 11% in 2021. Despite significant progress in the uptake of antiretroviral therapy (ART) by individuals living with HIV, Zambia still struggles to reach the epidemic control targets of 95-95-95 set by UNAIDS, with recent reports estimating viral suppression rate at 90%. It is therefore, imperative to investigate the factors that are associated with viral non-suppression, particularly in rural settings like Luapula Province, Zambia, where few research has been done to date. The current study describes the prevalence and factors associated with viral non-suppression among HIV positive adults on ART in Luapula Province, Zambia. | |
