Data are limited on lost to follow-up (LTFU) in high-risk cohorts that have initiated \u2018Test and Treat\u2019. We describe LTFU in a cohort of women of high-risk sexual behaviour who initiated ART under \u201cTest and Treat\u201d.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We performed a retrospective cohort study of participant records at the Good Health for Women Project (GHWP) clinic, a clinic in Kampala for women at high-risk of HIV-infection. We included HIV positive women \u226518\u2009years who initiated ART at GHWP between August 2014 and March 2018. We defined LTFU as not taking an ART refill for \u22653\u2009months from the last clinic appointment among those not registered as dead or transferred to another clinic. We used the Kaplan-Meier technique to estimate time to LTFU after ART initiation. Predictors of LTFU were assessed using a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean (\u00b1SD) age of the 293 study participants was 30.3 (\u00b1 6.5) years, with 274 (94%) reporting paid sex while 38 (13%) had never tested for HIV before enrolment into GHWP. LTFU within the first year of ART initiation was 16% and the incidence of LTFU was estimated at 12.7 per 100 person-years (95%CI 9.90\u201316.3). In multivariable analysis, participants who reported sex work as their main job at ART initiation (Adjusted Hazards Ratio [aHR] =1.95, 95%CI 1.10\u20133.45), having baseline WHO clinical stage III or IV (aHR\u2009=\u20092.75, 95% CI 1.30\u20135.79) were more likely to be LTFU.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>LTFU in this cohort is high.
