The impact of COVID-19 on multi-month dispensing (MMD) policies for antiretroviral therapy (ART) and MMD uptake in 21 PEPFAR-supported countries: a multi-country analysis.

Introduction: Increasing access to multi-month dispensing (MMD) of antiretroviral therapy (ART) supports treatment continuity and viral load suppression for people living with HIV (PLHIV) and reduces burden on health facilities. During the COVID-19 response, PEPFAR worked with ministries of health to scale up MMD and expand eligibility to new groups of PLHIV, including children and pregnant/breastfeeding women. We analysed PEPFAR program data to understand the impact of the policy changes on actual practice.
