Thus, policy makers-including the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief-are encouraging countries to provide PLHIV with a multimonth supply of ART as a key strategy to safeguard PLHIV and health care workers involved in providing HIV services. As a key strategy to safeguard patients and health care workers providing HIV services, MMD also reduces clinic visits, improves viral suppression, encourages social distancing, and potentially saves patients from the dual threat of SARS-CoV-2 and HIV.	./cache/cord-345771-3v2avxiv.txt	./txt/cord-345771-3v2avxiv.txt
