The Positive Impact of Multi-Month Dispensing of ARVs of Client Treatment Continuity

Treatment continuity is essential to controlling the AIDS epidemic and spread of HIV. By using multi-month dispensing (MMD) of antiretrovirals (ARVs) at health facilities, barriers to care and treatment for both patients and providers can be reduced. Ghana adopted MMD in October 2019 and continued to scale it up, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The USAID Strengthening the Care Continuum project, implemented by JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. conducted a study to assess facility-based differentiated MMD and measure effectiveness.
