Despite this, only just over half are commenced on ART within 1\u2009week of diagnosis, which highlights the need to further reduce time between HIV testing\/diagnosis and linkage to HIV services. Socio\u2010economic privilege (home ownership, education) is associated with faster treatment start, suggesting that support should target less privileged patients.
