Bisetegn G, Arefaynie M, Mohammed A, et al. - Researchers aimed at determining the predictors of virological failure after adherence-enhancement counseling among adults living with HIV/AIDS. They conducted a case–control study in the town of Kombolcha using simple random sampling for 338 participants. Findings revealed the following as predictors of virological failure: poor antiretroviral medication adherence during adherence-enhancement counseling session, first viral load ≥ 10,000 copies/mL, and recent history of opportunistic infection. Based on these findings, they emphasize making efforts to improve adherence to antiretroviral medication, which helps to boost immunity and suppress viral replication.
