Factors Associated with Time to Virological Failure among HIV Patients on First Line Antiretroviral at Kenyatta National Hospital Comprehensive Care Centre, Nairobi Kenya

Kenya has recorded a high burden of HIV with 1.5 million HIV + persons by 2015. With the adoption of 2016 ART guideline in Kenya all PLHIV now qualify for antiretroviral (ART) irrespective of WHO clinical stage, cd4 count, age gender, pregnancy status, co-infected status thus increasing the number of patients likely to develop resistance. Once a patient develops resistance to first line, they are put on second line ART regimen which is more expensive and less tolerable.
