Retention in Care Is More Strongly Associated With Viral Suppression in HIV-Infected Patients With Lower Versus Higher CD4 Counts

Abstract

This is one of the first studies to report the impact of HIV disease severity on retention in care and viral suppression, demonstrating that retention in care is more strongly associated with viral suppression in patients with lower CD4 counts. These results have important implications for improving the health of patients with advanced HIV disease and for test and treat approaches to HIV prevention.
