14 Expedited ART initiation (fast tracking) Policy of NDoH since 25 February 2009 Focuses on vulnerable groups of adults and children Explicit recommendations: Vulnerable patients should not experience a delay in referral to an ART site of > 1 wk ART should be started within 2-4 wks of entry to ART site NDoH memorandum, signed bt Dr ND Kalombo, 25 February 2009
15 Fast tracking HIV-infected infants Fast tracking should ideally imply that HIVinfected infants are started on ART within 2 4 weeks of drawing blood for DNA PCR testing. This implies: Diagnosing HIV infection, giving post-test counselling and referral of HIV-infected infants must be completed within 1 2 weeks of drawing blood for the DNA PCR test Pre-initiation preparations at the ART clinic should be completed and ART commenced within a further 1 2 weeks Hospitalised HIV-infected infants: initiate ART before discharge Eley B.
