Abstract

Women living with HIV in regional Victoria face barriers accessing care. We evaluated the care cascade and outreach nurse support required for women attending our service between 2005 and 2020. A total of 33 women attended; 97% (32/33) were on antiretroviral therapy; 67% (22/33) retained in care, 27% (9/33) transferred and 6% (2/33) lost to follow up. Of women retained in care, 95% (21/22) were on antiretroviral therapy and 91% (20/22) had virological suppression. A total of 91% (30/33) required outreach nurse care (median care episodes 100/woman; IQR 44-179) - most frequently (87%; 26/30) liaising with pharmacies and prescribers. Outreach nurses are critical in achieving UNAIDS targets for women in western Victoria.

外展护士对向维多利亚州西部的妇女提供艾滋病毒护理至关重要。

维多利亚地区感染艾滋病毒的妇女在获得护理方面面临障碍。我们评估了2005年至2020年间参加我们服务的女性所需的护理级联和外展护士支持。共有33名妇女参加了会议；97%（32/33）接受抗逆转录病毒治疗；67%（22/33）保留在护理中，27%（9/33）转移，6%（2/33）失访。在接受护理的妇女中，95%（21/22）接受了抗逆转录病毒治疗，91%（20/22）受到了病毒学抑制。共有91%（30/33）的患者需要外展护士护理（平均护理次数为100次/名女性；IQR 44-179），最常见的是（87%；26/30）与药房和处方医生联系。外展护士对于实现联合国艾滋病规划署为维多利亚州西部妇女制定的目标至关重要。
