*Numbers of patients into HIV care are the number of patients with a first CD4 or first VL.
†Number of patients receiving first HIV VL test is the number of first of VL tests.
‡Number of patients on ART is the number of patients who had a VL test in the 18-month period from 1 November (year–1) to 30 April (year+1).
§Per cent of HIV VL suppressed are 100×(the number of VL <400 cp/mL/total number of VL tests) during the same 18-month period. Patients who did not receive a VL test are not included.
ART, antiretroviral therapy; VL, viral load.
