The success of HIV treatment programmes globally has resulted in children with perinatally acquired HIV reaching adolescence in large numbers. The number of adolescents living with HIV is growing further due to persisting high HIV incidence rates among adolescents in low‐ and middle‐income settings, particularly in sub‐Saharan Africa. Although expanding access to HIV viral load monitoring is necessary to achieve the 90‐90‐90 targets across the HIV care continuum, implementation is incomplete. We discuss the rationale for prioritizing viral load monitoring among adolescents and the associated challenges.

在资源有限的环境中对青少年进行病毒载量检测的案例

全球艾滋病毒治疗计划的成功导致大量围产期感染艾滋病毒的儿童进入青春期。由于低收入和中等收入地区青少年艾滋病毒发病率持续较高，尤其是撒哈拉以南非洲地区，青少年感染艾滋病毒的人数进一步增加。尽管扩大 HIV 病毒载量监测的覆盖范围对于在 HIV 护理连续体中实现 90-90-90 目标是必要的，但实施尚不完整。我们讨论了优先考虑青少年病毒载量监测的基本原理以及相关挑战。
