HIV ECHO is a program aimed at improving HIV treatment outcomes in Thailand by providing support and training to healthcare providers. The third installment of the program, held in Udon Thani, focused on same-day and rapid antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation.
The Same-Day/Rapid ART Initiation strategy is critical in reducing the time between HIV diagnosis and treatment initiation, as studies have shown that early initiation of ART can lead to better health outcomes for individuals living with HIV. By offering same-day ART initiation, healthcare providers can prevent loss to follow-up and ensure that individuals receive the care and treatment they need as quickly as possible.
The HIV ECHO program in Udon Thani is helping to increase awareness and knowledge about the importance of same-day and rapid ART initiation among healthcare providers. By equipping them with the necessary skills and resources, the program is playing a crucial role in improving HIV treatment outcomes in Thailand.
