    A summary of the key achievements between October and December 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 * __716__ (static) ART sites * __617__ PMTCT sites (Option B+, all included in ART sites above) * __668__ Pre-ART sites * __652__ sites with HIV-exposed child follow-up * __604,854__ persons were tested for HIV and received their results; __172,574 (29%)__ accessed HTC for the first time; __432,280 (71%)__ were repeat testers and __15,096 (3%)__ of these received confirmatory testing (after having tested positive in the past). This is equivalent to 63% confirmatory testing coverage among __24,082__ patients initiating ART this quarter. __32,762 (5%)__ clients received a positive result for the first time. * __23,692 (>99.9%)__ of __23,699__ blood units collected were screened for (at least) HIV, hepatitis B and syphilis. * __137,394 (92%)__ of __149,627__ women at ANC had their HIV status ascertained; __10,613 (8%)__ of these were HIV positive. __122,523 (98%)__ of __125,204__ women at maternity had their HIV status ascertained __9,102 (7%)__ of these were HIV positive. * __24,082__ patients started ART this quarter. * __595,186__ patients were alive and on ART by end of December 2015. This means that 60% of the estimated 1 million HIV positive population was on ART. 1 Estimated ART coverage among people in need for treatment1 was __51% (51,105 / 101,000)__ for children (<15 years) and __69% (540,071 / 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 15.4) * __517,346 (93%)__ of __583,674__ patients on first line adult ART were on regimen 5A (TDF/3TC/EFV). * __76%, 69%, 66% and 65%__ of women started under Option B+ were retained on ART at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months after initiation, respectively. * __8,748 (8%)__ of infants discharged alive from maternity were known to be HIV exposed, __7,872 (90%)__ of these received ARV prophylaxis (nevirapine). __7,131 (82%)__ were enrolled in exposed child followup before age 2 months. * A total of __10,624__ HIV exposed children and __5,650__ pre-ART patients were enrolled for follow-up in HIV Care Clinics (HCC) during this quarter.
