Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This study, to be conducted in southern Ethiopia, is a randomized community trial, evaluating the use of local community support workers who provide for HIV patients education, counseling/social support, and linkage to the HIV Clinic. Patients will be followed for at least three years, with a primary goal of improving retention in HIV care, and secondary goals of improving client knowledge, attitudes about being HIV-positive, feelings of social support and clinical health status.
