Emtricitabine triphosphate in dried blood spots predicts future viremia in persons with HIV and identifies mismatch with self-reported adherence

Abstract

Nonquantifiable FTC-TP in DBS predicts future viremia and is particularly informative in PWH reporting perfect adherence. As point-of-care adherence measures become available, mismatches between objective and subjective measures, such as FTC-TP in DBS and self-report, could help clinicians identify individuals at an increased risk of future viremia.
