Abstract

IntroductionArtificial intelligence (AI) and, in particular, machine learning (ML) have emerged as transformative tools in HIV care, driving advancements in diagnostics, treatment monitoring and patient management. 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.MethodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted across databases, including PubMed and ProQuest Central, Scopus and Web of Science, covering studies published between 2014 and 2024. The review followed PRISMA guidelines, screening 3185 records, of which 47 studies were included in the final analysis.ResultsFortyu2010seven studies were grouped into four thematic areas: (1) HIV testing, AIu00a0u2026
