Supporting long‐term engagement in <scp>HIV</scp> clinical care: Learning from the <scp>COVID</scp> ‐19 pandemic

We found that COVID-19 exposed existing vulnerabilities deterring access to HIV clinical care, as well as being itself an additional factor. For some people, the pandemic provided an opportunity to re-engage. We recommend that retention in care is prioritized in policy and financially, that clinical services provide holistic person-centred care, and improve ways to identify those who leave care.
