|---|---|
|
Kein Eingriff: Control group
This study arm will receive care as usual.
|
|
|
Experimental: Two-way SMS intervention group
Two-way messages allow the recipient of the SMS message (the patient) to respond to the messages ("We hope you are feeling well today.
Reply 1 if well, 2 if unwell") to request a follow-up call from the clinic.
|
Clients will receive a weekly two-way SMS, meaning that the clients in this group will receive the same message as in the one-way SMS study arm, but in addition will be asked how they feel.
Clients are required to either press 1 or respond "well" or press 2 or write 'Unwell" in response in the language of their choice within 48 hours.
A missing response after 48 hours triggers a second SMS to remind the client to respond.
If after 24 more hours the participant still does not respond or if at any point s/he responds "unwell" then the study coordinator will follow up with a call within 24 hours.
|
|
Experimental: One-way SMS intervention group
Clients will receive a weekly one-way SMS with the message "We hope you are feeling well today."
There will be no prompt for response.
|
Clients will receive a weekly one-way SMS message.
There will be no prompt for any response.

Medication adherence rates using electronically monitored adherence (MEMS cap) data
Zeitfenster: 6 months after enrollment
|
Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS)-cap data will be collected continuously over the course of the 24-month study period allowing us to investigate daily adherence and its timing.
MEMS caps data indicating the date and time when the participant opened their pill bottle (either one of the ART medications or prophylaxis if not on ART yet) will be used to calculate the primary outcome variable of adherence (# of actual bottle openings / # of prescribed bottle openings).

Medication adherence rates using electronically monitored adherence (MEMS cap) data
Zeitfenster: 12 months after enrollment
|
Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS)-cap data will be collected continuously over the course of the 24-month study period allowing us to investigate daily adherence and its timing.

Fraction of clients displaying adherence of 90% or more
Zeitfenster: At 6, 12, 18 and 24 months
|
MEMS caps data indicating the date and time when the participant opened their pill bottle (either one of the ART medications or prophylaxis if not on ART yet) will be used to calculate the secondary outcome measures of fraction of clients displaying adherence of 90% or more.
|
At 6, 12, 18 and 24 months

Indicator for treatment interruptions of more than 48 hours
Zeitfenster: At 6, 12, 18 and 24 months
|
MEMS caps data indicating the date and time when the participant opened their pill bottle (either one of the ART medications or prophylaxis if not on ART yet) will be used to calculate the secondary outcome measures of an indicator for treatment interruptions of more than 48 hours.
|
At 6, 12, 18 and 24 months
|
|
Viral load assays
Zeitfenster: At month 12
|
A randomized subset of 30 clients from each intervention arm (90 total) will measure viral load assays at month 12.
|
At month 12
|
|
Self-reported adherence
Zeitfenster: At baseline, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months
|
We will ask about number of missed doses over the past 7 days.
Adherence is calculated as a proportion of prescribed doses taken.
|
At baseline, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months
|
|
Pharmacy Refill Adherence
Zeitfenster: Months 6, 12, 18 and 24
|
All patients on ART receive their medications in 30-day supplies from the Infectious Disease Institute (IDI) and Mildmay clinic pharmacies.
For clients on co-trimoxazole, the drugs are typically dispensed in units of 90 count.
We will adjust the measure according to the refill period specific to each client.
A composite continuous multiple interval measure of medication availability or refill rate will be calculated (# of pills dispensed/ # pills prescribed per day)/ days between refills.
|
Months 6, 12, 18 and 24
|
|
Clinic Attendance
Zeitfenster: Continuous over 24 months
|
Attendance at regularly scheduled clinic visits as part of usual care will be tracked for all participants from the electronic client database and will be available in real-time to the study coordinator.
|
Continuous over 24 months
|
|
Cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) count
Zeitfenster: Occasionally over 24 months
|
CD4 counts will be chart abstracted from the clinic data; they are typically taken about every six months
|
Occasionally over 24 months
