摘要：What is already known about this topic? Achieving and sustaining viral load suppression (VLS) reduces illness and death associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and effectively prevents sexual transmission of HIV. What is added by this report? In Bukoba, Tanzania, scale-up of new testing, linkage to care, and retention on antiretroviral therapy interventions over 2.5 years helped increase VLS among HIV-positive persons approximately twofold overall (from 28.6% to 64.8%) and threefold among men (20.5% to 59.1%) and adults aged 18–29 years (15.6% to 56.7%). What are the implications for public health practice? During 2019, these interventions are being scaled up across Tanzania with support from the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief to help increase VLS among all persons with HIV infection.
