Overview

Retrospective cohort study shows improved virological outcomes in PLHIV re-engaged to treatment, highlighting socioeconomic barriers.

Key Points

  • 79% of participants returned to care after implementing a multidisciplinary approach for PLHIV, leading to significant improvement in treatment adherence.
  • 68% of those who returned resumed antiretroviral therapy, resulting in a notable increase in viral load suppression for the majority.
  • Despite these gains, 27% were lost to follow-up after six months, indicating ongoing challenges in patient retention.
  • Socioeconomic and psychosocial barriers persist, particularly among foreign-born individuals, necessitating targeted, long-term interventions.
