“…Our results are in line with a study from Kenya that is part of a recent UTT trial , where retention on ART in 15‐ to 24‐year‐olds was significantly lower than in older persons (81% vs. 90% to 94%). This study observed that retention was improved when youths have a household member living with HIV . Peer support also impacts on retention on ART among adolescents as our recent analysis demonstrated .…”

“…Similar to another study in the same setting [31], retention rates in all other age groups were better compared to adolescence or being a young adult (18-24 years). Retention in adolescents and young adults should be an important subject given the rising rates of infection in this particular sub population [32] and high rates of viral un-suppression [33].…”

“…In this era of T&T, it is important that data characterizing retention of patients is available, especially in routine health care delivery settings. However, most of the data currently available are derived from implementation of test-and-treat in research settings [17][18][19]. In this study, we set out to study the cumulative incidence, incidence rate of loss to follow up, and factors associated with loss to follow up in a primary healthcare clinic that had been implementing the T&T policy since 2012.…”
