Description
Janet Kobusinge Lubega and colleagues tracked a warning sign in HIV care: virus levels too low to count as failure, yet high enough to hint that treatment may be slipping. Their 2026 PLOS One paper covers Ugandan children and teenagers from 2014 to 2023, using close to a million routine viral load tests.
The share of tests in this low range climbed from about one in ten to about one in six over the decade. The rise appeared in boys and girls alike and was steepest among infants. The authors say watching this signal closely could help clinics act before full treatment failure sets in.
