NCT ID NCT05510973
First seen Sep 10, 2026 ยท Last updated Sep 10, 2026
Summary
This study will evaluate the implementation of an enhanced package of care, CD4 and tuberculosis lipoarabinomannan (TB-LAM) tests and the initiation of patients on TB prophylaxis \[TPT and CPT\], on retention in care and viral suppression ((\<50 copies/ml) at 6 and 12 months after AHD care and treatment enrollment. The study will also assess the change in AHD screening, management and service uptake indicators among PLHIV clients before and after implementation of the QI collaborative implementation (QICI) project, evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of the AHD package of care among patients and HCWs providing related health services, and conduct a cost analysis of implementing the enhanced AHD package of care in a hub-and-spoke implementation of care model.
