Georgia Care Continuum Methodology, Persons Living With HIV (PLWH), 2012
• Adults and adolescents are those aged >= 13 years• Diagnosed by 09/30/2011 (Western Blot or Viral Load [VL]) ,
including those missing race, sex, and/or transmission risk• Living as of 12/31/2012• Current address within Georgia• Engaged in care >= 1 CD4 or VL in 2012• Retained in care (>= 2 CD4 or VL at least 3 months apart in
2012• Estimated percentage prescribed ART derived from the
Medical Monitoring Project (MMP) Georgia sample • Viral suppression (VS) = VL<200 copies/ml in most recent VL• All percentages are percent of total number of persons
diagnosed with HIV
Special consideration: linkage to care within 3 months for prevalent population• HIV reporting began in Georgia 2004; CD4 and
viral load (VL) measurements are not available before this date
• Linkage to care proxy is CD4 or VL within 3 months of diagnosis date
• Linkage is missing for 54% of Georgia’s prevalent HIV population and therefore not represented here
• Linkage to care data are included in the New Diagnoses 2011 slide set for persons diagnosed in 2011
Special Consideration: people living with HIV, diagnosed in 2011
• Linkage to care = CD4 or VL within 3 months of diagnosis
• For persons diagnosed in 2011, the first CD4 or VL represents linkage to care
• CD4 or VL within the first 3 months of diagnosis is excluded from the engagement and retention in care measurements
• To allow 12 months for engagement and retention in care and viral suppression, only persons diagnosed by 09/30/2011 and followed through 12/31/12 are included

Transmission category definitions
• Multiple imputation was used to re-distribute transmission category where missing
• MSM = Male to male sexual contact• IDU = Injection drug use• MSM/IDU = Male to male sexual contact and injection drug
use• HET = Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or
to be at high risk for, HIV infection• Other = hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure,
and risk factor not reported or not identified

The HIV Care Continuum can help us…
• Focus our efforts for linkage, retention and viral suppression.• Identify groups at increased risk for dropping out of each
step in the continuum.• Monitor our progress in improvement of linkage, retention,
and viral suppression.• Identify disparities not only in prevalence but in care• Evaluate efforts addressing specific populations with low
viral suppression.• Monitor efforts in improving viral suppression in specific
counties, census tracts, zip codes and some specific facilities• Encourage improvement in surveillance data completeness

Limitations• Incomplete reporting • Missing data for race/ethnicity, sex, and current
address • Lack of transmission category information• Multiple imputation use to redistribute risk when
missing• Definition of heterosexual transmission (sexual
contact with a known HIV infected partner or person with increased risk, i.e., MSM or IDU)
• Missing laboratory reports may lead to underestimation of engagement, retention and viral suppression
• Cannot distinguish lack of prescription of ART, failure of ART adherence, or inappropriate medication choice
• Laboratory measures may be a poor proxy for engagement and retention in HIV care
Future analyses
• Monitoring the Care Continuum for both the prevalent population and by new diagnoses by year
• Advantages of monitoring the Care Continuum for new diagnoses: – Can measure linkage to care for new diagnoses– Excludes older cases who may have moved out of
state– May be more sensitive for measuring effectiveness
of interventions to improve testing, linkage, engagement and retention in care
– Can measure time from diagnosis to viral suppression
Uncertainties
• Populations for which data are missing may be fundamentally different
• How to obtain data for transgender category• How to improve completeness of reporting• Data on ART use difficult to capture• Understanding barriers to ART adherence• Prioritizing further research
