Abstract

INTRODUCTION: in Cameroon, multi-month dispensing (MMD) of antiretrovirals (ARVs) was introduced to improve treatment adherence among people living with HIV (PLHIV). However, this strategy has limitations that may lead to viral load rebound. The purpose of this study is to assess the incidence and factors associated with viral rebound in PLHIV receiving MMD at the Dschang Regional Annex Hospital between 2018 and 2023.
