HIV project in South Africa reaches 90-90-90 target one year ahead of deadline

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) - "MSF has released findings from a follow-up survey of our community-based HIV/TB project in Eshowe, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. The findings show that the project has achieved the UNAIDS targets of 90-90-90 one year ahead of the 2020 deadline.

The survey ended with the result of 90-94-95, meaning 90% of people living with HIV know their status, 94% of people living with HIV were on antiretroviral treatment and 95% of those had a suppressed viral load.  The results support MSF’s view that interventions at community level can successfully reach and directly support more people living with HIV who do not access conventional health services, which is key to getthing ahead of the HIV epidemic."
