3. Too few take a test Staveteig et al, DHS Comparative Reports, 2013 Global Update on HIV treatment, WHO, 2013 8% - 69% 13% - 76% 37% Adults Pregnant women

4. Substantial attrition between testing and ART initiation Mugglin et al, Trop Med Int Health 2012 15-30% lost at each step

5. Still too many people start ART late The IeDEA and ART cohort collaborations 1 in 4 start ART at CD4<100

15. Summary Successful scale up of ART poses continued challenges to current models of care Evidence from research and programmes indicate ways to improve patient care at each step of the cascade Future research is needed to identify approaches to enroll people earlier onto ART and support long-term retention in care
