This is equivalent to 51% confirmatory testing coverage among__ 25,737__ patients initiating ART this quarter. __34,966 (6%)__ clients received a positive result for the first time. * __16,645 (94%)__ of __17,773 __blood units collected were screened for (at least) HIV, hepatitis B and syphilis. *__142,701 (91%)__ of __156,851__ women at ANC had their HIV status ascertained; __11,113 (8%)__ of these were HIV positive. __129,887 (97%)__ of __133,931__ women at maternity had their HIV status ascertained __9,868 (8%)__ of these were HIV positive. * __ 25,737__ patients started ART this quarter. * __585,660__ patients were alive and on ART by end of September 2015. This means that 59% of the estimated 1 million HIV positive population was on ART. 1 Estimated ART coverage among people in need for treatment1 was __50% (50,533 / 101,000)__ for children (<15 years) and __68% (531,990 / 779,000)__ for adults. * __78%__ of adults and __79%__ of children were retained alive on ART at 12 months after initiation. Actual retention rates are thought to be about 10% higher due to misclassification of ‘silent transfers’ as defaulters in clinic-based survival/retention analysis. (see section 15.4) * __510,798 (93%)__ of __574,610__ patients on first line adult ART were on regimen 5A (TDF/3TC/EFV). * __11,823 2 (79%) __of an estimated __14,926__ HIV infected pregnant women in Malawi were on ART this quarter. __7,031 (59%)__ of these were already on ART when getting pregnant and __4,792 (41%)__ started ART during pregnancy/delivery. * An additional __1,555__ breastfeeding women started ART due to Option B+ (in WHO stage 1/2) * __78%, 71%, 67% and 66%__ of women started under Option B+ were retained on ART at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months after initiation, respectively. * __9,019 (7%)__ of infants discharged alive from maternity were known to be HIV exposed, __8,414 (93%)__ of these received ARV prophylaxis (nevirapine). __7,558 (84%)__ were enrolled in exposed child followup before age 2 months. * A total of __11,357__ HIV exposed children and __6,929__ pre-ART patients were enrolled for follow-up in HIV Care Clinics (HCC) during this quarter.
