Recommendation
Maintained
It is strongly recommended that test results from virological testing in infants be returned to the clinic and child/mother/caregiver as soon as possible, but at the very latest within four weeks of specimen collection. Positive test results should be fast-tracked to the mother–baby pair as soon as possible to enable prompt initiation of ART
