Excerpt
In Suriname, a South American country with 500.000 inhabitants and an estimated prevalence of HIV infection of 4%, virological monitoring of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) is uncommon. Therefore, the virological response to cART is poorly known. The objective of this study is to determine the virological response and to identify risk factors for virological failure among HIV-infected patients in Suriname. An additional aim is to develop and validate a prediction model that could be used to identify patients at risk for virological failure. …
