PY - 2020 DA - 2020/10/08 TI - Rapid Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Initiation at a Community-Based Clinic in Jackson, MS JO - AIDS Research and Therapy SP - 60 VL - 17 IS - 1 AB - Rapid antiretroviral therapy (ART), ideally initiated within twenty-four hours of diagnosis, may be crucial in efforts to increase virologic suppression and reduce HIV transmission. Recent studies, including demonstration projects in large metropolitan areas such as Atlanta, Georgia; New Orleans, Louisiana; San Francisco, California; and Washington D.C., have demonstrated that rapid ART initiation is a novel tool for expediting viral suppression in clinical settings. Here we present an evaluation of the impact of a rapid ART initiation program in a community-based clinic in Jackson, MS.
