Abstract
The review indicates that continuing maintenance HIV care in health centres in low- and middle-income countries is likely to result in fewer people lost to care than if HIV care were to be continued in more centralized facilities. With partially decentralized models of HIV care, attrition is likely to be lower. Reduced mortality rate could be attributed to better compliance with ART due to the proximity of services that would be of critical importance to poorer patients and sicker patients. The WHO has also recommended this model.
