Text-based follow-up

2wT clients will receive automated daily texts from days 1-14. If a 2wT VMMC client responds that he suspects an AE, a VMMC nurse will exchange modifiable, scripted texts with clients to determine symptoms, frequency, and severity. Then, if deemed necessary, the client will be asked to return to clinic the following day or earlier. If 2wT patients do not respond to texts on Day 2 or Day 7, the same MoHCC tracing process will be activated, after which they will be considered LTFU. All study participants will be asked to come to the clinic for study-specific, Day 14 follow-up to review healing and verify adverse event reporting. At Day 42, we will implement a brief text-based survey with 2wT clients to ascertain complete healing, providing stronger inferences at study completion.
