Socio‐economic factors and virological suppression among people diagnosed with HIV in the United Kingdom: results from the ASTRA study

Abstract

Among people on ART in the United Kingdom, the proportion with detectable VL is low. Poorer socio-economic status is associated with increased probability of virological non-suppression. It is likely that much of this association is mediated through difficulties in taking ART. Emphasis should be put on aiding the adherence of people in these higher risk groups.
