HIV Clinic-Based Intervention to Improve ART Adherence and Prevent HIV Transmission

"The computer-based intervention (CBI) is offered to patients whose viral load exceeds 1000 copies/mL at enrollment.~Counseling is offered to patients whose viral load does not drop 1-log after the first CBI or remains above 200 copies/mL after completing two CBIs.~The behavioral screener will be conducted of all patients at primary care visits. The patient completes the screener before seeing the provider. Responses are given to their provider who can use it in clinical care of the patient.~At primary care visits, all patients are given a palm card containing 1 of 15 empowering messages before they leave the clinic. Messages cover three domains: adhering to antiretroviral therapy, regular care, and safer sex."
