ART program design and effect on clinical outcomes in rual Uganda: Secondary data analyses from the Home-Based AIDS Care project.
EF 2010-11
Résumé
The success of improving access to HIV treatment in sub-Saharan Africa has been due to increased funding available for treatment, coupled with simplified approaches to making treatment available. However, there are many issues related to program design which have the potential to effect the success of such programs. Two such aspects are the type of monitoring given to patients receiving HIV treatment and how frequently patients are seen to have their treatment reassessed. Using data from a now completed study of different types of program design, this study will examine what factors related to the design of HIV treatment programs are most important in terms of reducing death and disease in HIV infected individuals in a rural Ugandan setting.
