Summary
This study observes over 15,000 HIV patients in Malawi to see how different ways of delivering HIV treatment (like group visits or community pick-up points) affect viral suppression, patient satisfaction, and clinic efficiency. Researchers surveyed patients and providers at 12 health facilities. The goal is to help policymakers decide which models work best for patients and health systems.
