Myanmar National AIDS programme's priority is to improve the survival of all people living with HIV by providing ART care
Abstract
Myanmar National AIDS programme’s priority is to improve the survival of all people living with HIV by providing anti-retroviral therapy (ART) care. More than 7200 children (aged <15 years) have been enrolled into ART care from 2005 to 2016. A previous study showed that ~11% children on ART care had either died or were lost to follow-up by 60 months. Factors associated with death and lost-to follow-up (adverse outcomes) have not been previously studied.
Objectives of the sstudy are to describe the association between demographic and clinical characteristics at enrollment into ART care with adverse outcomes
