Jennifer M Ross, MD, MPH

Abstract

This household randomized implementation study assesses the implementation and effectiveness of home-based HIV self- testing and PrEP initiation versus standard clinic referral for PrEP initiation during modified standard-of-care (modified SOC) household TB contact investigation in Uganda. It uses qualitative methods to evaluate the process of implementing the intervention and a health economic evaluation to assess the financial sustainability of this strategy.
