HIV is one of the infectious diseases that is still the leading infectious agent causing death worldwide. Viral Load is a new method to see the amount of HIV virus in the blood in order to avoid transmission of HIV infection, so it is important to do a viral load test, but many factors affect the results of the viral load. The purpose of this study was to determine the dominant factors of the determinants that affect viral load in HIV patients at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang Hospital in 2022-2023. The study used a cross-sectional study design with a quantitative method of secondary data from medical records of HIV/AIDS patients whose research was conducted in June-July 2024. The data sample was 91 samples of HIV patients who had been tested for viral load with complete data registers that met the inclusion criteria and were selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out using the secondary data cleaning method assisted by a checklist data system. The results of this study indicate that the viral load of HIV patients is 61.6% potentially transmitting the HIV virus (detected >50 copies/ml) with the results of the bivariate test found a significant relationship between the variables of clinical stage, medication compliance, employment status with viral load until employment status was found [p-value = 0.018, OR = 6.592; 95% CI = (1.389-31.275)] as the main determinant affecting viral load in HIV patients at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital, Palembang in 2022-2023 after controlling for medication compliance. Meanwhile, age and gender are stated as protective factors and other variables as factors that could at any time affect the viral load. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out more intensive health promotion to patients, families, hospital visitors, and the surrounding community by health workers regarding the importance of viral load testing as an effort to minimize and stop transmission of the HIV virus.
