Several factors can influence viral suppression rates, including:
- Adherence to Treatment: Consistent adherence to prescribed antiviral medications is critical for achieving and maintaining viral suppression. - Access to Healthcare: Timely access to healthcare services, including diagnosis and treatment, plays a significant role in viral suppression. - Socioeconomic Status: Individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds may face barriers to accessing treatment, thus affecting suppression rates. - Co-infections: The presence of other infections can complicate treatment and hinder viral suppression.
