To the Editor—Zhang and colleagues [1] have correctly observed that, in our study [2] recently published in Clinical Infectious Diseases, a considerable proportion of persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PLWH) who were receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) had not undergone viral load (VL) testing for HIV. They further noted that inadequate VL testing in China needs to be addressed, and they underscored the importance of VL testing for both clinical monitoring of individuals and systemic monitoring of the National Free ART Program. We could not agree more. Timely and periodic VL testing for all PLWH receiving ART is essential if China is to achieve improved outcomes for individuals (ie, reduced morbidity and mortality rates) and communities (ie, reduced transmission), not to mention the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets [3].
