Sham Comparator
Practice Facilitation to support TASSH integration (group A).
TASSH only (group B)
Components of the PF strategy include: (a) establishment of a steering committee of key stakeholders (ministry of health, state primary care agency, AIDS control agency, patient advocates) to provide leadership and guide integration of TASSH into HIV care platform; (b) training of the HIV nurses on TASSH protocol; and (c) training of practice facilitators, who will serve as coaches, provide support, and performance feedback to the PHC nurses on TASSH implementation.
HIV nurses based at Group B facilities will be trained on the 5As counseling approach strategy (Ask, Assess, Advise, Assist, and Arrange) and referral for the participants to the health center. However, they will not receive practice facilitation from the POFs. Participants attending PHC randomized to Group B will receive standard care offered by the facility.
