  2. Too few take a test 8% - 69% 13% - 76% 37% Adults Pregnant women Staveteiget al, DHS Comparative Reports, 2013 Global Update on HIV treatment, WHO, 2013

  3. Substantial attrition between testing and ART initiation 15-30% lost at each step Mugglinet al, Trop Med Int Health 2012

  4. Still too many people start ART late 1 in 4 start ART at CD4<100 The IeDEA and ART cohort collaborations

  5. Cumulative attrition on ART 30% LTF at 3 years Global Update on HIV treatment, WHO, 2013

  6. Improving testing and linkage • Partner and couples testing • Community testing • Self-testing • Combination testing • DBS for early infant diagnosis Suthar et al, Plos Med 2013 [Accepted] Global Update on HIV treatment, WHO, 2013

  7. Enrollment in pre-ART care Enrollment in pre-ART care Adherence clubs • Earlier initiation • PoC CD4 • CTX • Adherence clubs CTX prophylaxis PoC CD4 Wynberg et al, 2013 (submitted) Kohler et al, AIDS 2011 Wynberg et al, 2013 (submitted) Kohler et al, AIDS 2011

  10. 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

  11. 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
