Description
Using a stepped wedge design, we will rollout Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) integrated with Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) provision among Ugandan HIV serodiscordant couples in public health clinics around Kampala, Uganda, with concurrent attention to behavioral counseling and costing components. Results will provide compelling data to inform the widespread delivery of this intervention as a component of Ugandan national HIV prevention policy.
The proposed stepped wedge trial of integrated PrEP and ART for Ugandan HIV serodiscordant couples set in public health clinics around Kampala, Uganda–with concurrent attention to behavioral counseling and costing components–will provide compelling data to inform the widespread delivery of this intervention as a component of Ugandan national HIV prevention policy.
