    This is the 15th quarterly HIV Program report after implementation of the 2011 Integrated Clinical HIV Guidelines in July 2011. A summary of the key achievements between January and March 2015 is provided below: * Scale-up of integrated HIV services had reached the following number of sites: * __724__ static (579 within and 145 outside of health facilities) and 188 outreach HTC sites * __714__ (static) ART sites * __620__ PMTCT sites (Option B+, all included in ART sites above) *__657__ Pre-ART sites * __641__ sites with HIV-exposed child follow-up * __500,359__ persons were tested and counselled for HIV; __157,080 (31%)__ accessed HTC for the first time; __343,279 (69%)__ were repeat testers and __9,992 (3%)__ of these received confirmatory testing (after having tested positive in the past). This is equivalent to 40% confirmatory testing coverage among __25,270__ patients initiating ART this quarter. __31,491 (6%)__ clients received a positive result for the first time. * __18,765 (97%)__ of __19,436__ blood units collected were screened for (at least) HIV, hepatitis B and syphilis. * __148,838 (91%)__ of __164,275__ women at ANC had their HIV status ascertained; __11,727 (8%)__ of these were HIV positive. __120,651 (96%)__ of __129,368__ women at maternity had their HIV status ascertained __9,142 (8%)__ of these were HIV positive. * __25,270__ patients started ART this quarter. * __551,566__ patients were alive and on ART by end of March 2015. This means that 55% of the estimated 1 million HIV positive population was on ART. 1 Estimated ART coverage among people in need for treatment1 was 48% (47,962 / 101,000) for children (<15 years) and 65% (503,604 / 779,000) for adults. * __76%__ of adults and __77%__ 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 16.4) * __481,309 (93%)__ of __517,067__ patients on first line adult ART were on regimen 5A (TDF/3TC/EFV). * __11,583 2 (85%)__ of an estimated __13,317__ 1 HIV infected pregnant women in Malawi were on ART this quarter. __6,266 (59%)__ of these were already on ART when getting pregnant and __4,317 (41%)__ started ART during pregnancy/delivery. * An additional __1,584__ breastfeeding women started ART due to Option B+ (in WHO stage 1/2) * __77%__, __72%__, __69%__ and __70%__ of women started under Option B+ were retained on ART at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months after initiation, respectively. * __8,499 (7%)__ of infants discharged alive from maternity were known to be HIV exposed, __7,866 (93%)__ of these received ARV prophylaxis (nevirapine). __6,750 (65%)__ were enrolled in exposed child followup before age 2 months. * A total of __10,452__ HIV exposed children and __6,223__ pre-ART patients were enrolled for follow-up in HIV Care Clinics (HCC) during this quarter.
