Abstract:
The HIV treatment cascade in Nigeria for 2019 revealed a viral load suppression rate of 42%; this is significantly below the UNAIDS 90% target for 2020 and way off the new 95% mark for 2030. This poor performance indicates important gaps in viral load monitoring (VLM) services in the country. This study aimed to explore the factors influencing VLM and identify promising practices for improvement to provide recommendations for adoption.
