In The Lancet Infectious Diseases, Lucas Hermans and colleagues¹ report the results of a large, multicentre cohort study investigating the incidence of low-level viraemia and its association with virological failure. Low-level viraemia was defined as HIV RNA viral load of 51–999 copies per mL. The investigators studied 70 930 HIV-infected adults from rural-urban areas of South Africa, 68% of whom were women, who were treated with first-line or second-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens and monitored according to WHO guidelines.
