Clinical Trial Summary

The study is a 3-year, randomized trial to compare ART delivery through two different models: a) ART delivered through health facilities by clinically qualified staff and b) home-based care in which lay workers, i.e. non-medically qualified people, play a major role in the ART delivery and clients are followed up at health facilities less frequently. The primary objective is to measure the effects of these strategies on HIV viral load. We will also examine the effects on treatment failure, disease progression, survival, adherence, family member HIV testing, sexual behavior, and cost-effectiveness.


Clinical Trial Description

The study is a randomized trial to compare ART delivery through two different models: a) ART delivered through health facilities by clinically qualified staff and b) home-based care in which lay workers, i.e. non-medically qualified people, play a major role in the ART delivery and clients are followed up at health facilities less frequently. The primary objective is to measure the effects of these strategies on plasma HIV viral load. We will also examine the effects on treatment failure, disease progression, survival, adherence, family member HIV testing, sexual behavior, and cost-effectiveness.

The trial is conducted with The AIDS Support Organization (TASO) clinic in Jinja, Uganda. Randomization is conducted through geographic clusters, defined using sub-counties in the district, and stratified by distance from fixed health facilities, and urban/rural. Just over 800 participants, living in 40 clusters, will be recruited over a period of 3-6 months and followed-up over a period of 3 years. ;
