COVID-19 and Antiretroviral Therapies: South Africa’s Charge Towards 90–90–90 in the Midst of a Second Pandemic	2020-04-30		.txt	text/plain	1496	83	55	In preparation for a future swell of COVID-19 patients, the Western Cape Department of Health (WC DoH) implemented a plan to "de-escalate" healthcare services to reduce the spread of infection and increase capacity to accommodate COVID-19 patients [2] . The SAHCS strongly advocated that 6-month supplies of ARVs be issued to stable patients, reducing the risk of COVID-19 exposure inherent in seeking in-person treatment at healthcare facilities as well as to minimize patient flow in a clinic [10] . The SAHCS and WC DoH recommendations seek to fast-track PLHIV onto a robust ARV regimen during the pandemic to maximize their possibility of viral suppression and minimize their exposure to the healthcare system and, potentially, COVID-19. It is well documented that differentiated models of care, such as South Africa's adherence clubs, for stable ARV patients have improved long-term virologic suppression and retention in care in comparison to usual care [11] [12] [13] .	./cache/cord-304748-ddwawfv2.txt	./txt/cord-304748-ddwawfv2.txt
