Standing Tall (Yima Nkqo)

Status unconfirmed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: HIV

In brief

The investigators propose the Standing Tall study, a prospective randomised study of strategy to optimize community-based ART initiation in South Africa. Investigators will work closely with community members to integrate community-based ART. One hundred participants will be enrolled and followed for a total of up to 6 months. Those in the intervention arm will be provided with the ST intervention which includes a behavioral component and access to ART. The intervention will be linked to a clinic through a "Nurse Initiated Management of ART."
