Sponsor: University of California, Berkeley
Conditions: HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
Interventions: Conditional Cash Transfer
Countries: Tanzania
This protocol describes a 2-arm cluster, randomized controlled trial designed to test the effectiveness of a conditional cash transfer on viral suppression at 6 months among people living with HIV infection (PLHIV) in Tanzania who have disengaged from HIV care. Randomization will take place at the clinic level (HIV primary care clinics). The comparison group receives standard of care standard of care HIV tracing services according to Tanzania's National Guidelines for the Management of HIV and the Ministry of Health to locate potential participants, including home based care (HBC) tracing of PLHIV who have disengaged from primary care, the provision of counseling to return to HIV care, and the offer to schedule an HIV primary care appointment on the spot. Eligible adult PLHIV disengaged from HIV care and living in an intervention facility catchment area will receive the same standard of care HIV tracing and clinical services as control participants, plus the opportunity to receive a one-time cash transfer incentive, conditional upon confirmed completion of a clinical visit if within 90 days of study enrollment. The primary endpoint is viral suppression (\<1000 copies/ml) at 6 months after study enrollment.
