Discussion
The clinical goals of HIV treatment are optimally accomplished through consistent high-level adherence to Highly Active Anti Retroviral Therapy (HAART) and sustained virological suppression through cost effective regimen (2NRTIs+1NNRTI). At the end of more than 4 years total suspected IF patients are only 73 (2.13%) of which only 49 (1.70%) has actual virological failure; shows the efficacy of the 1st Line ART. Failure to access care and discontinuation of or non-adherence to ART are the most important factors associated with the progression of HIV disease.
