Objectives:
 
South Africa is committed to attaining the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets to control the HIV epidemic by providing quality healthcare services using highly effective antiretroviral treatment (ART).. The Minister of Health launched the Campaign on Closing the 1.1 million treatment that  seeks to close the antiretroviral treatment (ART) gap by December 2025, targeting the retention and re- engagement of 1.1 million individuals in care

To support the achievement of this goal, the ART clinical guidelines have been updated to include more optimised treatment regimens for children, adolescents and adults, as well as pregnant women living with HIV/AIDS, TB and other common opportunistic infections.
This ambitious initiative prioritizes:
–    increasing access to treatment,
–    improving men’s health, and
–    enhancing paediatric and adolescent HIV care,
–    especially in provinces with the most significant gaps

Aim: The goal of this webinar series is to increase awareness about  2023 ART Clinical Guidelines and improve healthcare worker knowledge and skills as they receive lost patients and provide clinical care on how to reinitiate them on ART, on the use of optimised regimens for people living with HIV and enhance adherence counselling (EAC)

Questions/key issues to be covered:

•Re-initiating patients on ART
