Summary

This study tested whether giving tuberculosis (TB) preventive medicine at community sites, with fewer refill visits, helps more people finish their treatment compared to standard monthly clinic visits. 301 South African adults with HIV or who were close contacts of TB patients took part. The goal was to see if the community approach leads to higher completion rates within 3 months.
