With the increase in uptake of multi-month antiretroviral therapy dispensing (MMD) for children, little is known about consistency of MMD receipt over time and its association with virological outcomes. This analysis aims to assess the uptake of 3-month MMD among children, consistent receipt of MMD after uptake, and clinical outcomes following transition to MMD in 16 health facilities in Gaza and Inhambane Provinces. This is a secondary analysis involving children <15 years living with HIV with clinical visits during the period from September 2019 to August 2020.
