Usability and acceptability of capillary blood self-collection devices among adults living with HIV in Zambia: A randomized crossover trial

2026-06-16

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Introduction HIV viral load (VL) monitoring is essential for evaluating antiretroviral treatment effectiveness, but reliance on venepuncture in high-burden settings can delay sample collection and return of results. Emerging approaches suggest that lower blood volumes may be sufficient for VL and drug resistance testing using novel methods such as the next-generation sequencing platform...
