Abstract

Our findings suggest that gaps in HIV knowledge and viral suppression are critical factors in ongoing HIV transmission. To effectively curb HIV transmission, preventive interventions should prioritize individuals who are unaware of their HIV status or those who are virally unsuppressed, addressing these gaps to reduce risky sexual behaviour and the potential for further transmission.
