Table 2. Summary statistics of plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load results.
| VL count (RNA copies/ mL) | Baseline (n = 215; 199 Experienced, 16 Naïve) | Month 1 (n = 193; 179 Experienced, 14 naïve) | Month 6 (n = 223; 200 Experienced, 23 Naïve) | Month 12 (n = 199; 177 Experienced, 22 Naïve) | ||||

Note: Most ART-naïve participants did not receive baseline and month 1 viral load due to prevailing national guidance at the time of conducting the research
