Abstract

Abstract : This survey assessed virologic outcomes of children on antiretroviral therapy and potential predictors in 10 nurse-led clinics in Lesotho. Viral suppression was achieved in 72% of the 191 children. No predictors for virologic outcome were found, underlining the need for routine viral load testing in resource-limited settings to achieve 90-90-90.
