Trends in viral load suppression among HIV patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) at Asante Mampong Municipal Hospital, Ghana: 2019–2023
VL suppression was low among patients. Advanced age and being on the same ART for more than 12 months were significantly associated with VL suppression. Health promotion activities are needed for people who have been suppressed to maintain and achieve a lifetime undetectable VL, targeting the younger age group.
