37%
Adults
Pregnant women
Substantial attrition between testing and ART initiation
Mugglin et al, Trop Med Int Health 2012
15-30% lost at each step
Still too many people start ART late
The IeDEA and ART cohort collaborations
1 in 4 start ART at CD4<100
Cumulative attrition on ART
Global Update on HIV treatment, WHO, 2013
30% LTF at 3 years
Improving testing and linkage

• Partner and couples testing• Community testing• Self-testing• Combination testing• DBS for early infant diagnosis
Enrollment in pre-ART care

Enrollment in pre-ART care
• Earlier initiation• PoC CD4• CTX• Adherence clubs
Wynberg et al, 2013 (submitted)Kohler et al, AIDS 2011
CTX prophylaxis
PoC CD4
Adherence clubs
ART initiation
• Task shifting• Decentralization• Service integration
TB/HIV integration India
Paediatric decentralization in Thailand

Adherence support
• FDCs• Optimized regimens• Viral load• Adherence support (sms, clubs…)
Fixed-dose combinations

Summary
• Successful scale up of ART poses continued challenges to current models of care
• Evidence from research and programmes indicate ways to improve patient care at each step of the cascade
• Future research is needed to identify approaches to enroll people earlier onto ART and support long-term retention in care
WHO’s ongoing workto support ART delivery
• Support to regions for guideline rollout • Future of ART monitoring• Phasing out (d4T) and phasing in (viral load)• Early Infant Diagnosis • Paediatric treatment optimization• Cotrimoxazole prophylaxis• Implementation Science summit
