Aucune intervention: Clinic-based Care
Clinic-based care is the current standard of care and is defined as referral of women on antiretroviral therapy (ART) to general primary care adult ART services.
|
|
|
Expérimental: Adherence Club Care
Adherence club care involves referral of women on ART to community-based ART services in the form of adherence clubs, which are led by community health workers and supported by ART clinic nurses.
|
Women will be referred to the ACs at their postpartum ART clinic visit at the midwife obstetric unit (MOU) at the Gugulethu community health centre (CHC).
AC visits occur 2-4 monthly at a community hall near the CHC.
At routine visits, which last ~1 hour, community health workers provide health education, weigh participants, ask about symptoms, and dispense pre-packed ART.
Symptomatic participants are referred back to the main ART facility at the CHC for assessment by a nurse.
A nurse performs routine phlebotomy at an annual club visit, and does a clinical assessment and reviews blood results at the subsequent visit.
Participants requiring more regular follow-up and those with raised viral loads are referred back to the ART clinic at the CHC by the nurse.
