SPEEDI was an effective model for delivering ART to children, adolescents, and young adults in our setting, leading to good clinical outcomes, low mortality, and low LTFU. The SPEEDI program safely and effectively expedited and spaced out ART visits for children, adolescents, and young adults, and can serve as an adaptable ART delivery model for other resource limited settings.
