  • Informing efforts to reach Unaids’ 90–90–90 targets

    Stephanie A Kujawski, Stephanie Kujawski et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2017

    Global targets aim to increase the number of people living with HIV (PLWH) who know their status. Using data from Mozambican facility-based HIV testing and counseling (HTC) and a population-based survey, we compared characteristics of PLWH diagnosed in HTC to the general population of PLWH to identify subgroups that are missing from the health system and may be undiagnosed. Male and female PLWH aged 50+ (PPR = 0.47, p = .0001) and with higher HIV…
