LONGITUDINAL VIRAL TRAJECTORY AMONG WOMEN IN THE WOMEN'S INTERAGENCY HIV STUDY
 
 
  from Jules: it looks like 20% are on HAART, 39% on ART & 30.47% of women on HAART & 38% on ART are reported here to have undetectable viral load

The same group reported:
 
CROI: Longitudinal HIV Viral Trajectories and Co-Morbidities Longitudinal in the WIHS: Viral Suppression Key to Survival - (02/16/17)
 
from Jules: in Figure 1 you see only 29% were non-viremic, 29% with intermittent viremia and 41% with sustained viremia ...."Long term viral suppression key to survival, but risk factors for cardiovascular disease greater on HAART"
 
"On multivariate analysis, individuals with AIDS defining conditions and AIDS-associated cancers were more likely to have sustained viremia .....Compared to women with sustained viremia, women with viral suppression were more likely (HR 1.4, p=0.0072) to report risk factors for cardiovascular disease (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes), without concurrent increased risk of cardiovascular disease outcomes" from Jules: perhaps long term viral suppression reduces inflammation but risk factors like lipids etc may be greater on HAART.
 
CROI: Viral Load Dynamics Among Persons with Diagnosed HIV: United States, 2014 - (02/16/17) CDC - "the continuum of care outcome measure, which relies on single viral load measures, overestimates viral suppression by 20%....longitudinal measures better inform viral burden & treatment & care efforts....about half with diagnosed HIV in the US in 2014 had durable viral suppression"
