HIV Care Cascade

Among adults already aware of their HIV-positive status, 97% reported currently being on ART. No statistically significant differences in any care cascade measure were found between PWH who reported fishing activities and the general PWH population. The overall care cascade in these communities (78–97–93) is broadly comparable to the Uganda national UPHIA benchmark (81–96–92). Almost one-quarter of adult people with HIV (PWH) in the cohort were newly diagnosed through the SchistoTrack study itself. Status awareness is the primary gap in the care cascade relative to the UNAIDS 95–95–95 targets in these communities. The majority of PWH (71.3%) access ART at a clinic other than the geographically nearest facility.
