Her presentation, titled “Durability of viral load and Risk of Rebound Among Children in a Trial using Real-Time Medication Monitoring Device to Improve ART adherence in Nothern Tanzania,” highlighted critical insights into treatment outcomes among children living with HIV.
Through a thoughtful analysis of viral load patterns and rebound risks, her work demonstrate the importance the importance of sustained adherence support and early detection strategies to protect long-term treatment success.
Her findings added a meaningful voice to regional and global conversations on paediatric HIV care. Her session drew interest from researchers, clinicians, and policymakers committed to strengthening evidence-based interventions for children across Africa.
A remarkable experience marked by learning, collaboration, and renewed commitment to advancing child-centred HIV programmes. This study was part of the EDCTP senior fellowship Dr. Marion Sumari
