Sustainable East Africa Research in Community Health
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Universal ART in a streamlined care model, Annual Community Health Campaigns, and 2 other interventions for HIV and 5 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 150,395 participants across 3 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
The SEARCH study aims to test evidenced-based innovative community based interventions that lead to the elimination of HIV in rural communities in East Africa using a multi-disease approach. The first phase of the study will quantify the impact of early HIV diagnosis using a streamlined and immediate ART (antiretroviral therapy). The second phase of the study, will quantify the impact of targeted Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in the context of universal treatment and streamlined care. The study intervention is designed to improve the entire continuum of care, to reduce structural barriers for all populations including those most "at risk".
