The present review aimed to systematically identify, map and synthesize studies on the use of AI methods across the HIV care continuum, including applications in HIV testing and linkage to care, treatment monitoring, retention in care, and management of clinical and immunological outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A comprehensive literature search was conducted across databases, including PubMed and ProQuest Central, Scopus and Web of Science, covering studies published between 2014 and 2024.
