Our HIV Care Cascade model demonstrates that the true numbers of patients NRIC may be significantly lower than previously estimated and once RIC, treatment goals approaching the United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS targets are possible with 91.5% on treatment and almost 90% of those on treatment virally suppressed. That 40% reengaged following direct contact suggests benefit through regular monitoring and direct contact based on the HIV Care Cascade model.
