Clinical Trial Summary

The BCPP study is designed to test the hypothesis that implementing an enhanced combination prevention package which includes provision of ART to all participants, regardless of CD4 count or HIV disease severity, will impact the HIV/AIDS epidemic by significantly reducing population-level, cumulative HIV incidence in a defined geographic area over a period of 3 years and will be cost-effective.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Population-level, cumulative HIV incidence	Population-level cumulative HIV incidence will be measured in a cohort of HIV-negative persons identified from a 20% sample of eligible households in the 30 study communities followed annually.	3 years
Secondary	2. Population-level uptake of HIV testing and counseling (HTC), ART, VL Suppression, male circumcision (MC), and PMTCT services	Population-level uptake of each intervention will be measured in an annual survey of the 20% sample of eligible households in the 30 study communities and through analysis of routine program monitoring data.	3 years
Secondary	Cost per additional infection averted		3 years
