NCT ID NCT04158882
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at medical records from 1.2 million people with HIV in Zambia to understand how different models of delivering HIV treatment are working. Researchers want to see how many people are using these models, how well they control the virus, and what the costs are. No new treatments are being tested—this is about improving how care is provided.
