Brief Summary

In low- and middle-income countries, viral load (VL) monitoring of patients living with HIV and followed on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in remote settings is still scarce. Barriers to VL monitoring are essentially the limited access to a laboratory able to perform this measurement, its cost, as well as the lack of human and material resources. Blood sampling using dried blood spots (DBS), which has been validated and is immediately available, could overcome these barriers. With DBS, transfer and conservation of samples are simplified enabling access to VL monitoring to patients seeking care in sites far from laboratory facilities. Use of DBS also offers the advantage not to require extensive investments. To guide decision makers in the implementation of strategies to scale-up HIV VL monitoring in remote settings, field evaluations of DBS in routine conditions are needed. It is in this context that we propose this field evaluation of the Cobas® plasma separation card in Vietnam
