Structured adherence counseling
"Patients will undergo one standardized enhanced adherence counselling session. Counselling guidelines and a brochure were specifically developed to guide the adherence counselling for individuals with unsuppressed VL. All nurses at the health centres will be trained on the counselling prior to the cross-over to the intervention. The brochure was developed by culturally adapted by social scientists and contains only 3 key messages. The brochure will be given to the patient to take home.~Four weeks after the adherence counselling session, a SMS will be sent to the patient reminding them to take their ART. The content of the text message will be anonymous to protect disclosure and discussed/agreed upon with the patient during the adherence counselling."
