  • Abbreviation: ART, antiretroviral therapy; FY, fiscal year; VL, viral load.

  • aThese statistics only include partners reporting those currently on treatment (i.e., those partners providing treatment services). The table includes both the calculated indicators (%) and the underlying raw numbers for each calculation. Regional partners are counted as local in both FY2019 and FY2020. To be determined awards are excluded from calculated indicator calculations.
