• Evaluation of virologic failure should include an assessment of ART adherence, drug-drug and drug-food interactions, drug tolerability, HIV-RNA level and CD4 T lymphocyte (CD4) cell count trends over time, ART history, and prior and current drug-resistance test results. (hiv.gov)
  • Antiretroviral (ARV) regimens that are currently recommended for initial therapy in patients with HIV have a high likelihood of achieving and maintaining plasma HIV-RNA levels that are below the lower limits of detection (LLOD) of currently used assays (see What to Start ). (hiv.gov)
  • This study compared HCV RNA with HCVcAg for the detection and quantification of viraemia among a sample of Egyptians. (who.int)
  • After achieving virologic suppression of less than 50 copies/ml, most (more than half) of people living with HIV on ART maintain a residual HIV viremia at very low levels (1-10 copies/ml) (2, 4, 5). (ohtn.on.ca)
  • This review summarizes various definitions of low-level viremia and related terms, as well as the current evidence on incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of low-level viremia in people living with HIV and receiving ART. (ohtn.on.ca)
