Abstract:
Young HIV-positive men, particularly those with high alcohol use, should be targeted for HIV programming at a greater scale to reach the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets by 2030. Exposure to a health facility, whether by previous illness or co-morbidity, increases the likelihood of being on ART. Identifying interventions that are effective at linking these men to ART and continuing to improve knowledge about HIV treatment will help reduce the national burden of disease and enable South Africa, a country with disproportional burden of infection, to finally reach epidemiological control.
