We examined the relationship between past-year violence victimization and viral load (VL) failure among consecutively-sampled male and female adolescents and young adults, aged 15-24, in four HIV clinics in Ndola, Zambia. Measures of past-year physical violence, psychological abuse, and forced sex were adapted from the ICAST-C and WHO Multi-Country Study. Using logistic regression, we derived associations between VL failure (≥ 1000 copies/mL) and: any victimization; cumulative victimization; and types and perpetrators of violence. Among 272 youth (59.2% female, 72.8% perinatally infected), 73.5% (n = 200) experienced past-year violence and 36.8% (n = 100) had VL failure. Higher odds of VL failure were observed for participants who reported high frequency of any violence versus no violence victimization (adjusted OR, aOR: 3.58; 95% CI 1.14-11.27), high frequency of psychological abuse versus no psychological abuse (aOR: 3.32; 95% CI 1.26-8.70), any versus no violence from a family member other than a parent/caregiver for physical violence (aOR: 2.18, 95% CI 1.05-4.54) and psychological abuse (aOR: 2.50; 95% CI 1.37-4.54), and any versus no physical violence from a friend/peer (aOR: 2.14, 95% CI 1.05-4.36). Past-year violence victimization was associated with VL failure when considering the frequency, type, and perpetrator of violence.
