In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study aims to test a new approach to support people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in Uganda. Traditional healers (TH) will be trained to provide counselling and testing for HIV, help patients start antiretroviral therapy quickly, and offer guidance on taking medications and staying in HIV care. This support will be given in addition to the regular care provided at clinics. The main goal of the study is to see if this new approach can help more people in rural areas achieve viral suppression.
