HIV viral load suppression and associated factors among PLHIV with non-communicable diseases in Uganda’s Teso Region: a cross-sectional retrospective study
VLS among PLHIV with NCDs was comparable to those without, suggesting integrated care may mitigate disparities. However, age, sex, and facility level remain key determinants. Targeted interventions are needed for younger clients, men, and health centre IIIs to sustain viral suppression in the era of integrated health services.
