Individuals randomized to this arm will be invited to recruit members of their social network to form a health team, or microclinic. These groups will proceed through a discussion-based health education curriculum led by local community health workers. Topics will include HIV biology, medications, the importance of social support, and community outreach for reducing HIV stigma. The curriculum will conclude with an opportunity for all group members to disclose their HIV status to one another.
