“…We recently described TB maintenance as a cause of mortality among PLWHA nationwide 11 . This infection remains one of the most important causes of death among PLWHA across the globe, especially in developing regions 18 , having a major impact on the survival of patients with HIV in Brazil as a whole 19 and even more notably in Rio de Janeiro 20 .…”

“…Several studies reveal that risk of death among HIV patients is highly associated with viral load. [3][4][5]7 This implies that the longer an HIV patient is on ART and adhering to treatment, the more likely the chances of viral suppression thus low risk of death. According to a series of studies, ART start date, social economic factors, stigma were contributing factors to death among HIV patients.…”

“…According to a series of studies, ART start date, social economic factors, stigma were contributing factors to death among HIV patients. [2][3][4][5][6] However other studies reveal that the sex of an HIV patient did not affect viral load suppression, thus not associated with risk of death. The losses to follow up among HIV patients on ART triggered likelihood of death, given that most of the lost to follow up patients either dropped off treatment, did not adhere to treatment as prescribed by health care workers, leading to unsuppressed VL.…”
