Rapid Initiation of Antiretroviral Therapy to Promote Early HIV/AIDS Treatment in South Africa (RapIT Study)

Subjects offered the intervention who are eligible for antiretroviral therapy under South African guidelines will be offered the opportunity to initiate ART immediately, if possible on the same day as testing positive for HIV. Rapid testing technologies and an accelerated schedule will be used to allow all steps required prior to initiating ART to take place in approximately a half-day period.
