DATA FOR FIGURES: Insights from a Large-Scale Study on Viral Load Testing and Viral Suppression Among HIV-Positive Female Sex Workers in Nigeria

Table 1: Characteristics of the study sample.

Fig 1: Sample characteristics and viral load results. (a) Choropleth map showing the distribution of patients by local government area (LGA) of residence. (b) Age (years) distribution of patients at ART initiation. (c) Time distribution of ART initiation. (d) Time distribution of index viral load tests. For each respondent with more than one test, the test nearest to 6 months post ART was selected as an index test (e) Viral load levels for index tests.

Fig 2: Factors associated with ever receiving a viral load test among FSWs in the Nigerian KP HIV treatment program. Based on logistic regression analysis with random intercepts for the treatment/testing facility. Box-whisker plots indicate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Asterisks indicate statistical significance at a 0.05 alpha level. VL test: viral load test. BMI: body mass index, OR: odds ratio, CI: confidence interval.

Fig 3: Factors associated with receiving a viral load test 90-270 days after ART initiation among Nigerian female sex workers. Based on logistic regression analysis with random intercepts for the treatment/testing facility. Box-whisker plots indicate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Asterisks indicate statistical significance at a 0.05 alpha level. VL test: viral load test. BMI: body mass index, OR: odds ratio, CI: confidence interval.

 

Fig 4: Factors associated with viral suppression among FSWs in the Nigerian KP HIV treatment program. For individuals with multiple tests, the test closest to 6-months post ART was used as the index test for determining viral suppression. Based on logistic regression analysis with random intercepts for the treatment/testing facility. Box-whisker plots indicate odds ratio and 95% confidence interval. Asterisks indicate statistical significance at a 0.05 alpha level. BMI: body mass index, OR: odds ratio, CI: confidence interval


Fig 5: Factors associated with viral suppression among FSWs tested between 90 and 270 days after ART initiation. Based on logistic regression analysis with random intercepts for the treatment/testing facility. Box-whisker plots indicate odds ratio and 95% confidence interval. Asterisks indicate statistical significance at a 0.05 alpha level. BMI: body mass index, OR: odds ratio, CI: confidence interval
