Progress of HIV care cascade from HIV infection to viral suppression

The HIV care continuum from diagnosis of HIV infection, to the initiation of antiretroviral therapy, and to the achievement of viral suppression is called HIV care cascade. The number of HIV infected individuals shrinks along each steps of the HIV care continuum. Maximizing the proportion of HIV infected individuals to achieve viral suppression is an effective strategy to control the HIV epidemic. We reviewed progress of HIV care cascade in international and domestic settings, and provide our recommendations for achieving the 90-90-90 targets in China by 2020.
