Feasibility of smartphone-enabled asynchronous video directly observed therapy to improve viral suppression outcomes among HIV unsuppressed children and adolescents in Kenya
VDOT supported the achievement of VS among unsuppressed CALHIV on antiretroviral treatment and was significantly associated with dosage frequency, antiretroviral regimen, first- or second-line therapy, antiretroviral regimen classification, and type of caregiver. Findings suggest the utility of VDOT among unsuppressed CALHIV in resource-limited settings.
