Inpatient Package to Reduce HIV and AIDS-related Death in Zambia

The investigators will provide patients a package of diagnostic tests at the time of admission to comprehensively assess for HIV coinfections and treatment failure. These labs are all recommended in advanced HIV guidelines but in this study we will provide all tests as a bundle rather than step-by-step as suggested in guidelines.

Participants will be assigned a patient navigator who will support the patient and bedsider (treatment supporter/guardian) during the hospitalization. The navigator will be an HIV counselor who can provide counseling and health education, as well as support specimen transport, obtaining results, booking tests in other departments, linkages to ART clinic, and discharge planning
