Healer-initiated HIV Counseling and Testing Versus Standard of Care in Rural South Africa

RecruitingNA

Sponsor: Vanderbilt University Medical Center

Conditions: Hiv

Interventions: HIV counseling and testing from a traditional health practitioner

South Africa has made progress towards their 95-95-95 goals, yet a substantial proportion of the population do not test regularly. To reach people who otherwise may avoid testing, we propose to build on our successful healer-initiated HIV counseling and testing pilot to conduct a cluster randomized controlled trial in 42 clinical catchment areas to evaluate an expanded Healer-Initiated HIV Testing and Linkage to Care intervention in rural South Africa.
