Optimizing implementation of universal HIV treatment coverage for people living with HIV in Senegal

Senegal plans a rapid scale up of HIV treatment for all people living with HIV (PLHIV), regardless of CD4 count or viral suppression. However, limited data exist on how to achieve sustained viral suppression among PLHIV in real world contexts where significant barriers to effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) delivery, uptake, and adherence persist.

This brief describes a universal coverage antiretroviral treatment intervention Project SOAR is conducting among people living with HIV who are not virally suppressed. The findings from this study will inform the rollout of Senegal’s national test and treat strategy.
