A Single Center Study in Kigali, Rwanda	2020-06-25		.txt	text/plain	1213	66	57	According to The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS) and the World Health Organization (WHO), a 6-month disruption of antiretroviral therapy (ART) during the COVID-19 pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa will increase HIV-related death rate by more than half a million [8] . Given the recent total lockdown in Rwanda, this note presents findings from a study aimed to assess attendance to ART collection clinic appointments in the period 21 March to 30 April 2020 in Kigali, Rwanda. Less than half (48%) had attended scheduled ART collection clinic appointments during the lockdown period of 21 March to 30 April 2020. There was an association between place of residence and attendance status (p = 0.040), 50% staying within Kigali attended scheduled ART collection clinic appointments during the lockdown period compared to 35% among those living outside Kigali.	./cache/cord-254951-anfkuigj.txt	./txt/cord-254951-anfkuigj.txt
