Methods: We reviewed the medical records of AYHIV to characterize retention and virologic suppression following their transition. Results: 101 AYHIV, 97% perinatally infected, were transferred at the median age of 20 (IQR: 19-21) years. At 1-year post-transition, 92.1% were retained in care and 73.3% had viral suppression and at 2-years the retention and viral suppression were 87.1% and 76.7%, respectively. Factors associated with viral suppression were transition at ≥ 20 years of age (aOR 4.38, 95% CI 1.41-13.65) and receiving first-line ART regimen, compared to second- or third-line regimens, at transition (aOR 6.05, 95% CI 1.55-23.58). Conclusion: Transition outcomes of AYHIV in our setting were suboptimal. There is a need for interventions to support AYHIV transition during this vulnerable period.Immunology and MicrobiologyArticleSCOPUS10.1177/232595822211436732-s2.0-851435668152325958236474457
