Patients that restart treatment after four weeks or more of being off ARVs should also be counted under TX_RTT in the reporting period in which the patient returns to care and restarts ARVs. Patients who have not received ARVs within four weeks of their last missed drug pick-up should be described further in the reporting of the TX_ML indicator. Efforts to trace patients that have missed a clinical visit or drug pick-up should begin immediately following a missed clinical contact. Patients who have not received ARVs within four weeks (i.e., 28 days) of their last missed drug pick-up should not be counted.
