Implication

Cross-sectional analysis explores patient and facility factors impacting ART adherence and viral load suppression among HIV-positive individuals in Likasi.

Key Points

Suboptimal ART adherence was observed at 82% and viral load suppression at 74% among participants.
Disclosing HIV status was linked to higher adherence, alongside better health facility ratings and larger patient capacity.
Patients treated at secondary-level facilities and those with NGO support less frequently achieved viral load suppression.
Targeting identified patient and facility factors could improve ART adherence and help meet UNAIDS goals.
