a The numerator is the number of children with suppressed viral load at 5 years after ART initiation. The denominator includes all children who initiated ART at age 3 years, which by 5 years after ART initiation includes children with viral suppression, children who have been lost to follow-up, and children who have died. b The numerator is the number of children alive at 5 years after ART initiation. The denominator includes all children who initiated ART at age 3 years. c Average over 10-year time horizon. d Total (per-person) over 10-year time horizon.
