Viral Load

English

Viral Load testing is an important element of Anti-Retroviral Treatment (ART). However, recent studies show that many ART patients do not understand what Viral Load is, or how it is relevant to managing their HIV. Please share the following treatment literacy messages on your social media platforms

• Adherence means taking the medicine at the same time every day. The more consistently one takes their medicine the more effective it becomes.
• ‘Viral Load’ tells how many copies of the virus are in one drop of blood, this shows if the medicine is working. The less virus, the healthier one will be.
• The goal is Viral Load less than 50 copies OR ‘Target Not Detected’. Viral Load should be measured every six months. Do you know your Viral Load?
