One-Stop health check: can integrated care tame HIV and heart disease together?
NCT ID NCT05950919
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a package of services called TASKPEN, which combines HIV care with screening and treatment for high blood pressure, diabetes, and tobacco use. It involves over 5,700 adults living with HIV in Lusaka, Zambia. The goal is to see if this integrated approach helps more people control both their HIV and their heart or metabolic conditions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- TASKPEN (integrated HIV and non-communicable disease care package)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that combining HIV and chronic disease care in one visit improves health for people with both conditions, especially in low-resource settings.
- What could go wrong
- This is a large implementation study, not a drug trial, so results may depend heavily on local health system factors and may not apply elsewhere. Success is not guaranteed.
