Integrated Hypertension and HIV Care Cascades in an HIV Treatment Program in Eastern Uganda: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Abstract

The HIV care cascade approached global targets, whereas the parallel HTN care cascade demonstrated notable quality gaps. Management of HTN within this cohort did not negatively impact HIV care. Our findings suggest that models of integration should focus on screening PLHIV for HTN and retention and control of those diagnosed to fully leverage the successes of HIV programs.
