Description
Gallican Rwibasira leads a team of eleven authors mining Rwanda's national HIV surveillance system for what predicts viral suppression in teenagers and young adults on treatment. This age group suppresses the virus less reliably than older adults across the region, and Rwanda lacked national evidence on why. The study followed patients aged fifteen to twenty-four who started therapy between twenty nineteen and twenty twenty-five.
Over four thousand participants at more than four hundred fifty facilities were included. Most were female and aged twenty to twenty-four; nearly all received a dolutegravir-based regimen and showed good recorded adherence. Suppression meant a viral load at or below one thousand copies. Regression with facility clustering and imputed missing data estimated which demographic and clinical factors tracked with success.
