摘要

Objective To evaluate the impact of an intervention improving the continuum of care monitoring (CCM) within HIV public healthcare services in S?o Paulo, Brazil, and implementing a clinical monitoring system. This system identified three patient groups prioritized for additional care engagement: (1) individuals diagnosed with HIV, but not receiving treatment (the treatment gap group); (2) individuals receiving treatment for 6 months with a detectable viral load (the virologic failure group); and (3) patients lost to follow-up (LTFU).
