Adherence to HIV Treatment Postpartum: The Implications of Transitions Among Women Living With HIV in South Africa
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Transition Theory-based Intervention and Enhanced Standard of Care Control for HIV and Pregnancy Related. Completed, enrolled 62 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Despite high levels of adherence motivation during pregnancy, HIV treatment adherence and engagement in care is difficult for women in the postpartum period. Supporting women during the transition from pregnancy to postpartum is imperative to sustaining HIV treatment adherence during this period. The investigators are conducting a small scale pilot study of a behavioral Transition Theory-based intervention to support ART adherence and engagement in ART services among pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV.

Timeline
Interventions
The behavioral intervention is a theoretically driven curriculum focused on supporting mothers from pregnancy through postpartum in order to promote sustained HIV treatment adherence. Sessions utilize motivational interviewing and consist of a range of topics including motherhood, preparing for baby, disclosure, HIV education, adherence, birth experiences, support systems, and living positively.
In addition to standard of care, participants receive the first session of the Transition Theory-based Intervention curriculum which focuses on motherhood and preparation for baby but does not discuss the transition from pregnancy to postpartum or the postpartum period.
