Optimizing the Efficiency and Implementation of Cash Transfers to Improve Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy Phase II

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This protocol describes a 2-arm cluster, randomized controlled trial designed to test the effectiveness of a conditional cash transfer on viral suppression at 12 months post-ART initiation among PHWHIV who have initiated ART within the past 30 days. Randomization will take place at the clinic level (HIV primary care clinics), and eligible participants attending intervention clinics will have the opportunity to receive up to 6 consecutive monthly cash transfers of 22,500 TSH (\~$10) each, conditional on visit attendance with the HIV care provider. The study will take place at 32 clinics across four regions in Tanzania: Gaeta, Mwanza, Kagera and Shinyanga. The primary endpoint is viral suppression at 12 months, defined as the proportion of people living with HIV (PLHIV) retained in HIV primary care and with suppressed HIV viral load 12 months after starting ART.
