Early loss to follow‐up of recently diagnosed HIV‐infected adults from routine pre‐ART care in a rural district hospital in Kenya: a cohort study

Abstract

A third of recently diagnosed HIV-infected, ART-ineligible clients were LTFU within 6 months of registration. Predictors of LTFU among ART-ineligible clients are different from those among clients on ART. These findings warrant consideration of an enhanced pre-ART care package aimed at improving retention and timely ART initiation.
