Overview

Case control study highlights HIV/TB co-infection and alcohol impact on viral load in PLHIV.

Key Points

  • Non-suppression of HIV viral load is influenced by co-infection with tuberculosis and alcohol use, highlighting significant health challenges.
  • Among 185 individuals studied, 37 were cases with unsuppressed viral load while 148 were controls with suppression.
  • Multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed strong associations for TB co-infection and alcohol consumption in relation to viral load.
  • Timely management of tuberculosis and alcohol use could potentially improve treatment responses for people living with HIV.
