South Africa\u2019s national antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatment program, the largest in the world with roughly 4.5 million people on treatment, has made substantial impact on reducing morbidity and mortality for HIV-infected people. As the national program matures, it faces significant challenges in expanding access to harder to reach populations while also maintaining quality of care for those for whom HIV has become a manageable chronic disease, including treatment fatigue, resistance development, and ART side effects. South Africa has committed to the UNAIDS 90-90-90 goals, which seek to get 90% of those with HIV to know their status, 90% of those to initiate\u00a0HIV treatment and 90% of those to be virally suppressed . To achieve this goal and monitor progress towards milestones along the way, the National Strategic Plan calls for evidence-based approaches to monitoring the national response to HIV and highlights several key populations as a priority for improving treatment outcomes on ART. In line with this call, our group has<\/span>\u00a0built up a body of work evaluating the outcomes achieved since the rollout of ART nationally in 2004 and its impact on priority population groups. This work has the potential to inform program management, policy-making, resource allocation, and modelling.<\/span><\/p>\n
