Antiretroviral treatment outcome in HIV‐1‐infected patients routinely followed up in capital cities and remote areas of Senegal, Mali and Guinea‐Conakry

Abstract

We describe the ART outcome in capital and rural settings of Senegal, Mali and Guinea-Conakry. Our results in all of the three countries highlight the need to reinforce the ART adherence in order to minimize the occurrence of drug resistance. In addition, these findings provide additional evidence that the use of DBS as a sampling support could assist virological monitoring of patients on ART in remote areas.
