Abstract

Although successful virologic outcomes were seen in the vast majority (75.3%) of those treated at one year, virologic failure continues to be a problem particularly among those less adherent and from Xinjiang. Additional data are needed to understand the generalizability of these results, particularly those related to Xinjiang. For IDUs, enhancing adherence to HAART and considering the treatment of drug addiction as an integral part of the treatment for HIV infection should be considered. As China's National Free Antiretroviral Treament Program continues to mature and improve, ramping up treatment in these settings may be important considerations to the long-term success of the program.
