In March 2021, the WHO released updated recommendations on service delivery for the treatment and care of people living with HIV. In July of the same year, the WHO published the Consolidated Guidelines on HIV Prevention, Testing, Treatment, Service Delivery and Monitoring which compiled broader guidance including the Service Delivery and differentiated service delivery (DSD) updates. This series aims to disseminate the latest WHO 2021 service delivery and differentiated service delivery recommendations, and promote increased knowledge on the newest WHO HIV guidance to ensure all people living with HIV on antiretroviral treatment can access person-centered and high-quality HIV services. This course intends to reach all Health policy makers; National program managers; Healthcare providers; Civil society and Community based organizations; Implementing agencies supporting interventions on HIV; and Donors.

Información del curso
Overview: This series of webinar sessions offer the audience the opportunity to be introduced to some of WHO’s past webinars that introduce the Service Delivery and Differentiated Service Delivery for HIV treatment recommendations included in chapter 7 of the consolidated HIV guidelines launched in 2021. Key topics include service delivery recommendations for starting ART, including initiating treatment outside the clinic and support for same-day ART initiation; frequency of clinical visits and ART refills; tracing and re-engagement in care; and service integration.
The World Health Organization endorses four DSD HIV treatment models for people established on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and countries have adopted and expanded DSD implementation. During COVID-19, ART programmes were resilient, leveraging existing DSD systems to achieve scale and increase access by expanding who was eligible, extending antiretroviral therapy refills, and intensifying the scale-up of community-based service delivery.
Course duration: Approximately 1 hour.
Certificates: A Confirmation of Participation certificate is also available for participants who complete 100% of the course material.
