Attrition of HIV-positive children from HIV services in low and middle-income countries

Conclusions: These findings underscore the high attrition of children from HIV services in LMICs. Early ART initiation and decentralized patient support services (e.g. tracing for those LTFU) have potential to improve retention in care. Implementation research and resources are urgently needed to improve retention among this vulnerable population.
