Predicting long-term success on antiretroviral therapy among individuals failing first-line treatment in Uganda
EF 2011-12
Résumé
Currently most patients receiving HIV treatment in sub-Saharan Africa do not have access to expensive laboratory testing which is commonly available in North America or Europe. Two recent studies have confirmed that patients generally do quite well in the short term without access to these laboratory tests. However, the long-term impact of keeping large numbers HIV patients on treatment without laboratory testing which allows early detection of treatment failure is unknown. This study will look at how frequently HIV individuals fail first-line treatments of HIV positive patients have been receiving treatment through The AIDS Support Organisation for more than 3 years, We will also study factors that affect responses to second-line HIV treatment.
