简要总结
This study aims to establish the causal impact of two interventions - micro-incentives and a male-sensitive HIV- specific decision support app - on population-level HIV viral load and HIV-related mortality in men, as well as on population-based HIV incidence in young women.
详细描述
Research aim:
The primary aim of the home-based intervention to test and start (HITS) trial is to establish whether (i) the provision of two micro-incentives and (ii) a male-sensitive and HIV-specific decision support app will reduce population-level HIV viral load and HIV-related mortality in men, as well as population-level HIV incidence in young women.
Specific objectives
-
Establish the causal impact of two micro-incentives (aimed at increasing uptake of home-based HIV testing and linkage to care, respectively) on:
-
Population-level HIV viral load in men
-
Population-level HIV-related mortality in men
-
Population-level HIV incidence in young women.
-
Establish the causal impact of a male-sensitive and HIV-specific decision- support app (called EPIC-HIV) on:

结局指标
主要结局
Population-level HIV-related mortality in men
时间窗: year 3
Change in HIV-related mortality rate measured as the number of HIV-related deaths per 1000 person-years of observation in men
Population-level HIV incidence in young women (15-30 years of age)
时间窗: year 3
Change in HIV incidence rate (number of HIV sero-conversions per 100 person-years of follow up) in young women; HIV testing and viral load measurements are performed on the DBS samples collected during the annual survey
HIV testing uptake at point of test offer in men
时间窗: Baseline
% received the rapid HIV test at home among those offered the test in men
HIV treatment linkage at 1 year in men
时间窗: year 1
% who visited study clinics and initiated antiretroviral therapy (ART) in men
Population-level HIV viral suppression in men
时间窗: year 1
Change in proportion with detectable viremia in men; HIV testing and viral load measurements are performed on the dried blood spot (DBS) samples collected during the annual survey
