| Abstract | The data set is generated due to the project implementation of the Ethiopian population-based HIV impact assessment/EPHIA survey in the year 2017-2018. The Viral load suppression (VLS) rate study was under the survey of the EPHIA conducted among the 19133 adult urban populations to calculate the viral load suppression rate among HIV-positive individuals. For the purposes of EPHIA, VLS has defined as a VL less than 1,000 HIV RNA copies/mL of plasma. The survey used a two-stage, stratified cluster sample design, in which census enumeration areas (EA) (clusters) were selected in the first stage and households in the second stage. The sample was stratified by nine regional states and two city administrations: Tigray, Afar, Amhara, Oromia, Ethiopian Somali, Benishangul Gumuz, SNNPR, Gambella, Harari, Addis Ababa, and Dire Dawa. Data collection was conducted from the beginning of October 2017 to the end of April 2018. EPHIA provided Viral load testing with the return of results and CD4 counts for those who were HIV positive. The study also describes VLS among the population of HIV-positive adults by age, sex, region, and other demographic characteristics. Among HIV-positive individuals aged 15-49 years in urban Ethiopia, the proportion of adults with VLS was 68.2%, while the proportion of the adult population (defined as ages 15-64 years) with VLS was 70.1%: 66.8% among men and 71.7% among women. The proportion of HIV-positive adults with VLS ranged from 48.2% in young people (ages 15-24 years) to 80.2% in adults aged 45-54 years. The percentage of HIV-positive adults aged 15-64 who had VLS ranged from 56.7% in Gambella and 58.2% in Addis Ababa to 79.6% in Amhara. |

| Description | The Viral load suppression data set is a cross-sectional study conducted among the urban adult population in Ethiopia. The survey used a two-stage, stratified cluster sample design, in which census enumeration areas (EA) (clusters) were selected in the first stage and households in the second stage. The sample was stratified by nine regional states and two city administrations: Tigray, Afar, Amhara, Oromia, Ethiopian Somali, Benishangul Gumuz, SNNPR, Gambella, Harari, Addis Ababa, and Dire Dawa. Data collection was conducted from the beginning of October 2017 to the end of April 2018. EPHIA provided home-based Viral load testing with the return of results and CD4 counts for those who were HIV positive. The study includes 19133 adults and 10529 households and all individuals tested for viral load and have Known their suppression status. The viral load suppression rate was analyzed using the total HIV-tested adult population and the HIV-positive adults during the time of the data collection. The study also describes VLS among the population of HIV-positive adults by age, sex, region, and other demographic characteristics. |
