Summary

This study tested two nurse-led programs to help women living with HIV in Durban, South Africa, stay in care and keep the virus under control. One program provided HIV treatment through a mobile van, and the other offered personalized support from a peer. The goal was to see which approach worked better for long-term health.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Behavioral interventions: nurse-led decentralized treatment program (DTP) and individualized case management (ICM)
What this could lead to
If successful, these programs could help more women with HIV stay in care and keep the virus under control, reducing transmission and improving health.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, but results may not apply to all settings. The interventions are behavioral, so success depends on individual participation and local resources.
