Peer power: uganda study tests if community counselors boost TB-HIV outcomes
NCT ID NCT05917210
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study in Uganda tests whether trained peer counselors can help people with tuberculosis (TB) and HIV stay on track with their medications. About 1,920 adults will take part, and researchers will compare treatment success rates between clinics using peer-led education and those using standard care. The goal is to see if this approach improves TB cure rates and keeps people with HIV engaged in care.
