PEPFAR Partners Should Focus More on Treatment Maintenance

From Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation

July 17, 2009

"[F]ailure to adequately emphasise maintenance and adherence in patients now receiving treatment through" PEPFAR could "subvert" the program, according to a Lancet comment written by a former manager of a PEPFAR-funded treatment program. "PEPFAR's biggest success -- support for more than 2 million people on HIV treatment -- is also its largest liability," according to the article, which recommends that the program create an "incentive for partners to devote more resources and attention to patients already on treatment" (Navario, 7/18).
