Dropout from care among HIV-infected patients enrolled in care at a tertiary HIV care center in Chennai, India
Long-term follow-up of persons infected with HIV infection is essential to optimize clinical outcomes. However, limited data exist on the rates of dropout (DO) from HIV care and factors associated with DO especially from resource-limited settings.

Impact of generic antiretroviral therapy (ART) and free ART programs on time to initiation of ART at a tertiary HIV care center in Chennai, India
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) access in the developing world has improved, but whether increased access has translated to more rapid treatment initiation among those who need it is unknown.

Between 1996 and 2007, 11,171 patients registered for care at the YR Gaitonde Centre for AIDS Re…
