Trends in continuity of treatment among children and adolescents living with HIV in 14 districts in South Africa from 2018-2023: A retrospective program analysis
The C/ALHIV treatment and viral suppression increased substantially commensurate with expected trends. Subsequent cohort decline was aligned to vertical transmission reduction, HIV incidence decline, and expected aging. We highlight the inadequacy of the information systems to quantify losses. We underscore a need for resources to enhance program monitoring and interventions to address this gap.
