Can a simple quality check boost HIV testing in busy ERs?

NCT ID NCT06747221

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a quality improvement method called SAIA to help emergency departments in Kenya offer more HIV tests to people who often miss out, like men, teens, and key populations. Researchers will compare hospitals that use SAIA with those that don't, measuring how many patients get tested and linked to care. The goal is to find a practical way to reach more people with HIV testing in busy emergency settings.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Systems Analysis and Improvement Approach (SAIA) - a quality improvement strategy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show how to reliably increase HIV testing and care linkage for men, youth, and key populations in emergency departments across Kenya and similar settings.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage implementation study with no direct patient treatment. Results may not apply to other regions or health systems, and improvements may not be sustained without ongoing support.
