Resum:	Interferon-γ-inducible protein-10 is an affordable and easily quantifiable biomarker that can be used to accurately screen individuals on antiretroviral treatment (ART) for detectable viremia, optimizing the use of costly viral load determinations required to monitor ART in low-income countries. Achieving effective antiretroviral treatment (ART) monitoring is a key determinant to ensure viral suppression and reach the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets. The gold standard for detecting virological failure is plasma human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) RNA (viral load [VL]) testing; however, its availability is very limited in low-income countries due to cost and operational constraints. HIV-1-infected adults on first-line ART attending routine visits at the Manhiça District Hospital, Mozambique, were previously evaluated for virologic failure. Plasma levels of interferon-γ-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Logistic regression was used to build an IP-10-based model able to identify individuals with VL >150 copies/mL. From the 316 individuals analyzed, 253 (80%) were used for model training and 63 (20%) for validation. Receiver operating characteristic curves were employed to evaluate model prediction. From the individuals included in the training set, 34% had detectable VL. Mean age was 41 years, 70% were females, and median time on ART was 3. 4 years. IP-10 levels were significantly higher in subjects with detectable VL (108. 2 pg/mL) as compared to those with undetectable VL (38. 0 pg/mL) (P <. 0001, U test). IP-10 univariate model demonstrated high classification performance (area under the curve = 0. 85 [95% confidence interval {CI},. 80-. 90]). Using a cutoff value of IP-10 ≥44. 2 pg/mL, the model identified detectable VL with 91. 9% sensitivity (95% CI, 83. 9%-96. 7%) and 59. 9% specificity (95% CI, 52. 0%-67. 4%), values confirmed in the validation set. IP-10 is an accurate biomarker to screen individuals on ART for detectable viremia. Further studies should evaluate the benefits of IP-10 as a triage approach to monitor ART in resource-limited settings.
