ABSTRACT
To ensure the continuity of high-quality HIV care in Kisumu County, Kenya during the corona virus disease 2019 pandemic, the Ministry of Health implemented a strategy to promote physical distancing and corona virus disease 2019 case detection. A total of 23 262 (84.2%) of the 27 641 patients eligible for early refill received an extra 3-month supply of antiretrovirals. Across 60 Ministry of Health clinics, average attendance decreased from 1298 to 640 patients per day postintervention, representing a 50.7% reduction.
