Newest firstPurposeDifferentiated service delivery (DSD) models for antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV are intended to increase patient-centeredness, a concept that incorporates patient choice of service delivery options. We explored choice in DSD model enrollment at 42 public sector clinics in Malawi, South Africa, and Zambia. MethodsFrom 09/2022-05/2023, we surveyed ART clients and healthcare providers, asking ART clients…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundA growing number of people living with HIV (PLHIV) also have non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Shifting the health systems paradigm from vertical, parallel care to an integrated delivery model may facilitate better care-seeking and ultimately improve outcomes for people with a dual burden of HIV and NCDs. We describe the current state of integration of hypertension and diabetes care into HIV treatment in…
BackgroundMany countries in sub-Saharan Africa are rapidly scaling up "differentiated service delivery" (DSD) models for HIV treatment to improve the quality of care, increase access, reduce costs, and support the continued expansion and sustainability of antiretroviral therapy (ART) programs. Although there is some published evidence about the health outcomes of patients in DSD models, little is known about their…
IntroductionSince 2017 global guidelines have recommended "same-day initiation" (SDI) of antiretroviral treatment (ART) for patients considered ready for treatment on the day of HIV diagnosis. Many countries in sub-Saharan Africa have incorporated a SDI option into national guidelines, but uptake of SDI is not well documented. We estimated average time to ART initiation at 12 public healthcare facilities in Malawi…

We surveyed organizations that were supporting DSD models in 2019 in Malawi, South Africa, and Zambia to describe the diversity of DSD models being implemented at that time. MethodsWe interviewed DSD model implementing organizations fo…
