CDC Study on HIV Patients' Entry and Retention in Care Assesses Potential Success of “Test and Treat” Strategy
In their article, “Entry and Retention in Medical Care among HIV-Diagnosed Persons: A Meta-Analysis,“ published ahead of print on September 14 in AIDS, DHAP authors examine the proportion of persons diagnosed with HIV infection in the United States who enter care soon after their diagnosis and the proportion who are retained in care. The study found that 69% of HIV patients overall entered care following their diagnosis, and that overall 59% of these patients were retained in care. Although their findings are encouraging, the authors conclude that improvement in entry and retention in care rates will increase the success of a “test and treat” strategy.
