Abstract:
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) aims to achieve undetectable viral load, improve patient health outcomes, and increase the survival of paediatrics living with HIV. However, despite the expansion of ART with a significant focus on paediatrics, lost to follow-up (LTFU) among this vulnerable population has become a considerable concern in public health, negatively impacting treatment outcomes. There is limited information about LTFU among paediatrics in Nigeria. This study estimates the incidence and predictors of LTFU among paediatrics on ART in Nigeria.
