Tenofovir diphosphate (TVF-DP) can be quantified in red blood cells (RBCs) and dried blood spots (DBS) and can objectively measure ART adherence and predict viral suppression. Data on the association of TFV-DP with viral load are very limited in adolescents and young adults (AYA) living with perinatally-acquired HIV (PHIV), as are data comparing TFV-DP to other measures of ART adherence, such as self-report and unannounced telephone pill count. Viral load and ART adherence (self-report, TFV-DP and unannounced telephone pill count) were assessed and compared among 61 AYAPHIV recruited from an ongoing longitudinal study (CASAH) in New York City.
