简要总结
This clinical trial seeks to determine if male-centered recruitment increases men's testing for HIV and whether or not individualized introduction to clinics increases male engagement in treatment for HIV. The study is being conducted in rural KwaZulu Natal.
详细描述
This study combines structural and individual level interventions for HIV and integrates the two to address the study's objective of identifying South African men in KwaZulu Natal with HIV and maintaining those diagnosed with HIV in care to the point of viral suppression.
The cluster-randomized design will randomize 8 communities to intervention or control to test the hypothesis whether male-centered mobilization and testing increases the population-level percentage of men who have been tested within the past 12 months by more than 10 absolute percentage points.
The individually randomized design will test whether individualized case management will effectively link HIV-positive men to treatment to the point of viral suppression.
The study will also examine the incremental cost-effectiveness of the interventions.
