Longitudinal Viral Load Values for HIV Patients (2018-2024)
Description
Contains longitudinal measurements of viral load for 176 patients from 2018 to 2024. Viral load is a critical marker used to monitor the effectiveness of HIV treatment by measuring the amount of HIV RNA in the blood.
Usage

Details
The viral load measurements provide insight into the patient's response to antiretroviral therapy (ART). Lower viral load values, especially undetectable levels, indicate better control of the infection. Missing values indicate that no viral load measurement was available for that patient at that specific time.
