Overview

Cross-sectional study shows associations between HIV disease stages, viral load suppression in patients, indicating impactful clinical factors.

Key Points

  • Patients delaying ART initiation over five years are 2.33 times more likely to have unsuppressed viral load.
  • A significant association exists between advanced disease stage and tuberculosis prevalence at 51.7% in Stage III.
  • Body mass index was high in Stage III patients, with 58.6% experiencing elevated BMI linked to disease severity.
  • Treatment interruption was noted in 11.6% of patients, correlating with advanced disease stages, particularly Stage III.
