Evaluation of differentiated service delivery models on HIV treatment retention among key populations in Nigeria: a prospective cohort analysis
Linkage to treatment was suboptimal across both models with less than 90% of newly-diagnosed positives initiated on treatment and suggests that facilitated linkage is required to achieve at least 95%. Though retention was higher in the OSS model, both models had an alarmingly short time frame for LTFU and thus intensive monitoring during this phase of treatment is recommended irrespective of the type of DSD. Addressing these gaps will improve service delivery by one stop shops for HIV care and treatment.
