Using data science to investigate rising HIV low-level viraemia results at Groote Schuur laboratory in South Africa

This study shows how province-specific HIV result patterns correlate with ART adherence, using a Python script to assess serial VLs and follow-up suppression. It demonstrates the value of routine data analysis in monitoring high-throughput HIV VL tests, which are often auto-released without pathologist oversight.

Abstract

This study shows how province-specific HIV result patterns correlate with ART adherence, using a Python script to assess serial VLs and follow-up suppression. It demonstrates the value of routine data analysis in monitoring high-throughput HIV VL tests, which are often auto-released without pathologist oversight.
