Brief communication: The extent and determinants of viral suppression among patients on protease inhibitor-based Anti-retro-viral therapy undergoing intensive adherence counselling in a public HIV care center in Uganda
Despite the perceived effectiveness of PI-based ART and IAC, suboptimal levels of viral suppression were observed among clients on PI-based ART who had received IAC. Therefore, it is important to provide IAC for optimal duration as it increases the chances of viral suppression. Further investigation of the barriers of viral suppression for clients on PI-based ART undergoing IAC is needed.
