Simplifying Treatment and Monitoring for HIV (STREAM HIV): Point-of-Care Urine Tenofovir Adherence and Viral Load Testing to Improve HIV Outcomes in South Africa
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Point-of-care viral load testing and tenofovir adherence testing for HIV/AIDS and HIV-1-infection. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 539 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study seeks to determine the clinical efficacy and cost effectiveness of implementing an integrated model for HIV monitoring using point of care (POC) tenofovir (TFV) adherence testing and POC viral load (VL) monitoring in improving ART adherence, maintaining durable VL suppression, and improving retention in care among HIV-positive individuals initiating first-line tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-based ART in South Africa.
