Belgian HIV Viral Load Surveillance

Monitoring of HIV viral load is performed by the seven Belgian AIDS Reference Laboratories (ARL). Since 2006 they report the viral load of all people living with HIV in Belgium in a national registry. The purpose of the data processing and analysis is to describe the evolution of the epidemic of HIV and AIDS in Belgium. The data allows to describe the epidemiological profile of patients over time and the risks associated with the infection. The publication of statistical results contribute significantly to decision making and development of prevention campaigns.
