Digital counseling plus interactive two-way SMS dialogue

We will utilize a digital counseling tool on a tablet to provide initial reproductive life planning counseling while waiting for an HIV care provider. We will then use Mobile WACh, a human-computer hybrid system that enables seamless two-way SMS communication and patient tracking, to provide consistent support to women following enrollment and for up to 2 years. Women will receive automated theoretically grounded SMS messages targeting the appropriate reproductive health needs and will have the capability to respond and spontaneously message a nurse based at the clinic. . Automated SMS will be delivered at times and in languages based on patient preferences, weekly the first 3 months, every other week in months 4-12, and monthly during the last year of the trial. If there is a change in the reproductive health needs, more frequent messaging will be re-initiated at the same frequency as enrollment.
