HIV suppression or control with ART reduces the risk of people living with HIV to develop pathologies associated with the virus and the risk to pass the virus to their sexual partners or unborn or new-born children. Achieving and maintaining viral suppression remains a challenge globally with disparities in various countries and settings.
To achieve and maintain viral suppression among people living with HIV, strategies that engage community members and motivate long-term treatment adherence are required. These strategies should be scalable, community-based, and cost-effective. Recent crises have highlighted new challenges to their successful implementation. Addressing both long-term global challenges, as well as those arising from macro disruptions, are vital in achieving this 95 target.
This event will look at both global obstacles and region-specific disruptions in HIV care and at strategies towards building resilient health care systems that enable improving and maintaining adherence.
This session is the third out of three in the Reaching the 95-95-95 targets: The importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration series. Watch session 1 here and session 2 here.
