Summary

This study tests four different support tools—financial literacy training, matched savings accounts, a cartoon-based adherence guide, and role models with HIV—to see which combination best helps youth aged 11-17 in Uganda stay on their HIV medication and keep the virus undetectable. About 576 adolescents from 48 clinics will be assigned to different combinations of these tools and followed for three years. The goal is to find the most effective and affordable way to improve long-term viral suppression.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Financial literacy training, matched savings accounts, adherence cartoon, and role model engagement
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify a cost-effective combination of behavioral and economic supports to help youth with HIV stay on treatment and achieve long-term viral suppression.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial, so results may vary by setting. The 3-year follow-up is long, but adherence may still drop after the study ends.
