NCT ID NCT04417127
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new way to deliver HIV and chronic disease care by bringing services into community microfinance groups in rural Kenya. About 1,200 adults with HIV took part, with some receiving care in the community and others at usual clinics. The goal was to see if combining health care with group savings helps people stay in care and keep the virus under control.
