CD4 Testing
CD4 levels are important markers of immune function
Recommended at baseline to determine degree of
immune suppression.
Viral Load (VL) Testing is a more sensitive and an
earlier indicator of treatment failure therefore:
Routine VL monitoring rather than CD4 count for
treatment monitoring is recommended.

Investigators suggest clinical and policy recommendations should consider the small but
significant increased risk of NTD with DTG in context of other factors, including considerable
benefits of DTG, lack of comparable data for other ARVs, unknown risk factors of ART
exposure in utero
Based on current findings and additional surveillance reports, [2,3] WHO released updated
recommendations reconfirming use of DTG-based ART as preferred first-line and second-line
therapy[4]
Committee emphasized need for continued monitoring of NTD prevalence and patient
counseling/shared decision-making

Summary
Success of Namibian national ART programme due to government commitment and international
support
Namibia has achieved many milestones relevant to our context and the international community
Adopting the “Treat All” Policy allowed us to go beyond the 90 90 90 targets and
To address the illusive 10 10 10 further scaling up of treatment and
Next challenge for our programme is to address the illusive missing 10 10 10 gap which continue to
fuel the HIV/aids pandemic
Important for HIV/Aids care providers to create patient friendly service delivery mechanisms through
ART simplification and harmonization
Caution should be practiced that ART preventions such as PReP does not cause paradoxical effect
and nullify the gains achieved through a new pandemic of STIS
New, potent but user friendly regiments are becoming readily available and for inclusion into HAART
New salvage options for ART drug resistant patients are on the horizon which means all is not lost
Let us all continue the good work to support the national programme
Namibia’s classification as a middle income country in 2014 during the current economic hardships
poses a threat to the sustainability of the HIV/Aids pandemic control and could reverse all the gains.
The End!
