Four‐year retention and risk factors for attrition among members of community <scp>ART</scp> groups in <scp>T</scp>ete, <scp>M</scp>ozambique

Abstract

Long-term retention in this community-based ART model compares favourably with published data on stable ART patients. Nevertheless, to reduce attrition, further efforts need to be made to enroll patients earlier on ART, promote health-seeking behaviour, especially for men, promote a strong peer dynamic to assure rotational representation at the clinic and regular CD4 follow-up and reinforce referral of sick patients.
