Viral load measurements over 30 months for PLWH on DTG-based antiretroviral therapy.
A-F represents the number of viral load measurements with A representing the most recent viral load and F representing the initial viral load measurement. Legend: Red-undetectable viral load (<50cp/ml); blue- virally suppressed (51-1000cp/ml); green- virologic failure (>1000cp/ml).
Fig 3.
HIV viral load of selected patients showing different phases of viral load kinetics.
The various phases and points are average viral load for the number of selected patients. The first line across from the origin on the y (viral load)-axis represents viral loads of 50cp/mL and the second line represents viral loads of 1000cp/mL.
