Resistance testing versus adherence support for management of patients with virologic failure on first-line antiretroviral therapy in sub-Saharan Africa: An open-label randomized controlled trial
Description: PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The President's Emergency Plan for HIV/AIDS Relief has embarked on its third phase, which seeks, in part, to maximize the sustainability of HIV care programs in partner countries. Central to this mission is establishment of effective and affordable strategies for management of virologic failure, an event that has important ramifications for patient health, prevention of HIV transmission, and costs of care. Our proposal will directly address this critical issue by providing much needed data to empower PEPFAR and partner programs to take a data-driven approach to optimize management of virologic failure in sub-Saharan Africa.
