Background HIV-1 infections remain a global public health concern. Scaled-up antiretroviral treatment (ART) is
crucial for reducing morbidity and mortality related to HIV/AIDS. The emergence of drug-resistance mutations
(DRMs) compromises viral suppression and contributes to the continued HIV-1 transmiss...
Orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) programs focusing on improving HIV outcomes for children and adolescents living with HIV (C&ALHIV) may improve viral load (VL) testing coverage, a critical step toward achieving VL suppression. In Mozambique, we conducted a retrospective medical record review compari...
