Background: A relevant indicator for HIV control is retention in care, understood as the periodic use of medical services. As a result of the COVID 19 pandemic, the decentralization of health services for people living with HIV (PLWHA) has accelerated in the country. Objective: To evaluate the annual frequency of care retention in PLWHA attended in a category I-4 health facility in Lima. Methods and Materials: Secondary data study. Sociodemographic, clinical and laboratory information was collected from PLWHA treated at the study center from the start of services for said population (May 1, 2021) until December 1, 2022. (The annual frequency of retention in care (event of interest) adopted the international definition of at least two medical visits over 12 months, separated by 90 or more days. Results: During the indicated period, the study center attended 150 PLWHA; 50 (33.3%) formally referred. At admission, the median age was 31.9 years; 130 (86.6%) were men, 109 (72.7%) corresponded to key groups and 20 (13.3%) had Venezuelan nationality and the median CD4 cell count was 364 cells/mm3. One year after admission (n:74), retention in care was 96% and viral suppression, evaluable in only 24 (32%), was 83%. During follow-up, the main diagnoses were positive RPR/VDRL (28, 23.7%) and dyslipidemia (n:22). Conclusions: Under routine conditions, retention in care at the study center reached optimal levels, with gaps in viral suppression assessment.
