| Abstract |
Global efforts for HIV/AIDS have now been galvanized around achieving the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets (90% of people living with HIV knowing their status, 90% of those infected receiving ART, and 90% of those on ART having sustained viral suppression) which if achieved by 2020, would lead to HIV epidemic control by 2030. There are multiple factors challenging the attainment of these targets. This thesis focus on the challenge for achieving the third ‘90’ goal for viral suppression with specific focus on adherence, drug resistance and need for better molecular diagnostics in sub-Saharan Africa.
