AIDSReliefOver the eight years of the program
Supported 276 mostly rural treatment facilities in ten countries
Delivered HIV care and treatment to 706,593 clients Initiated 395,088 patients on ART, including 268,631
currently on treatment at transition quarter

Durability of the Initial Regimen is the Key to Sustainability, Scalability and Long Term ARV Access to Global HIV Treatment Programs
Durability of Initial Regimen: Key Factors
Regimen Choice
Treatment Strategy
Care Delivery System
Durability of the Initial Regimen Systematic implementation of:
Regimen Choice Treatment Strategy Care Delivery Systems
Lack of durability shifts resources from these key areas reducing the ability to progressively improve outcomes
Continued improvement of treatment outcomes to the initial regimen remains a critical area
6
We used national guidelines but moved to greater durability as we were able to work with National governments to transition to more effective NRTIs
(i.e. TDF based regimens)

What we learned about:Regimen Choice
With increased use of TDF based regimens an in-depth review showed:
On treatment analysis TDF/XTC/EFV had significantly higher odds of viral suppression than AZT/3TC/NVP (p<0.03) or TDF/XTC/NVP (p<0.01)

What we learned about:Treatment Strategy
We used national guidelines but moved to greater durability as we were able to work with National governments to treat earlier

Baseline CD4 and viral suppression rates
Higher the initial CD4, greater the chances of increasing durability

What we learned about: Care Delivery System
We had greater flexibility with the care delivery system and found that patients achieved greater durability in clinical settings that provided comprehensive treatment support, follow up and treatment education

With consistent and systematic implementation of: Regimen Choice
TDF favored over D4T or AZT EFV favored over NVP
Treatment Strategy - starting early = better outcomes Care Delivery Systems - community based support
Durable viral suppression in the most rural settings is possible
Final Lessons Learned
Final Lessons We Are Learning The care delivery structure is profoundly critical
Overall loss to follow up rates have been increasing as funding as been decreasing
Insufficient investment made to support health care delivery structures to sustain optimal outcomes
The number of deaths, loss to follow up, and dropped out of care may hit critical levels where many of our gains will be lost, and care and treatment will become more complex and costly
