High rates of virological failure and drug resistance in perinatally HIV‐1‐infected children and adolescents receiving lifelong antiretroviral therapy in routine clinics in Togo

Our study provided important information on virological outcome on lifelong ART in perinatally HIV-1-infected children and adolescents who were still on ART and continued to attend antiretroviral (ARV) clinics for follow-up visits. Actual conditions for scaling up and monitoring lifelong ART in children in resource-limited countries can have dramatic long-term outcomes and illustrate that paediatric ART receives inadequate attention.
