Article Synopsis
- Many high-income countries routinely measure HIV load, but it's often not recommended in developing countries due to high costs and technical challenges.
- As countries improve their ability to offer second-line therapies and lower the costs of testing, the relevance of viral load determination should be reevaluated.
- Viral load testing is crucial for making clinical decisions about treatment switches, monitoring adherence, and diagnosing HIV in young children, and efforts should focus on making it affordable and accessible in low-resource settings.
