The Full 360
In 2014 the United Nations published and committed to ’90-90-90′ – an ambitious target to help end the HIV epidemic.1
The Full 360 takes this a step further, adding a fourth objective; achieve an overall health status that’s as good as the general population.
The fourth '90'
In 2014, the United Nations established the 90-90-90 programme to help end the global AIDS epidemic. It set targets to achieve the following breakthroughs by 20201:
90% of PLHIV will know their HIV status
90% of those diagnosed will receive sustained ART
90% of PLHIV receiving ART will have viral suppression
A fourth goal related to overall lifelong good health instils a new objective for health care professionals (HCPs). The Full 360 addresses this:
What happens to PLHIV once their viral load has reached an undetectable level?
The fourth goal is to ensure that ≥90% of all people with an undetectable viral level to have a health profile similar to, or better than, the general population.
Ongoing care encompasses the bigger picture – the management of HIV (now a lifelong condition) and additional health concerns in PLHIV.
Adherence
Non-adherence is a major cause of treatment failure.2

Comorbidities and HIV
Reducing the risks of comorbidities in PLHIV is an objective among individuals of all ages.
