An audit of the HIV drug resistance testing program in Malawi
This audit demonstrates gaps in Malawi's HIVDR testing cascade and concerning clinical outcomes among those with follow up results: considerable attrition from care and low VL suppression. These results suggest that improvements in HIVDR testing in the Malawi HIV program need to be considered, including in-country sequencing and more efficient procedures for applications, approvals, clinical recommendations and clinical follow up.
