Method: Secondary data from HIV/AIDS Information System (SIHA) at Bekasi District Health Office were extracted with cross-sectional study that involved from January 2023 to September 2024. Patients on ART (n=811). We analyzed data with STATA version 17, performed univariable and bivariable analyses to identify factors associated with viral load suppression Results: Viral load suppression (≤50 copies/ml) was achieved by most patients (87.3%). High adherence (PR Adjusted: 5.27; p=0.000), clinical severity stage (PRA:2.52; p=0.000) and use of TLD regimen (PR Adjusted: ); p= 0.001) were significant predictors of unsuppressed viral load. Suppression rates were better in patients with HIV-negative or unreported status partners (PR Adjusted: 0.78; p=0.004).
