Therapeutic and virological outcomes in adults living with HIV / AID at 6 and 12 months after initiation of first-line highly active antiretroviral therapy in an urban population in Namibia
Antiretroviral regimens have side effects that can threaten adherence by patients resulting in evolution of viral resistance due to suboptimal drug levels. Studies have shown that drug adherence of at least 80% can result in viral load suppression. There is no literature on the association between …
