What are the options for patients who want to leave DART and continue to receive antiretrovirals?
In both Uganda and Zimbabwe there are now national programmes for the provision of free ARVs. If a person should choose to leave DART they would have the same priority for acceptance onto such programmes as other people living with HIV/AIDS that have already had ARV treatment. There is also the option to purchase ARVs but this would not be realistic for many DART participants.
