Summary

Researchers are analyzing medical records from about 7 million people with HIV in South Africa to see how different models of care are working. The goal is to understand which approaches help more people stay on treatment and achieve viral suppression. No new drugs or treatments are being tested; this is a data review to guide future healthcare decisions.
