HIV RNA at last follow-up visit. Figure 2 provides data on ART initiation and last follow-up viral load by levels of retention. The total median viral load at initiation was 12,000 copies/mL with the medians per adherence group ranging from 5,842 to 341,259 copies/mL with the highest value in the group that stopped ART early. At the last follow-up visit, the overall median RNA copies/mL was 64, with a median range from 50 copies/mL in those who attended all clinic visits to 3,750 in those who stopped ART prior to the end of the follow-up (p = 0.04). 84% of the fully adherent group had RNA copies mL <1000; the partially adherent group had 58% and the group that stopped ART only 25% (p = 0.02).
