What this trial studies

This study aims to gather and analyze medical records to evaluate the effectiveness of differentiated service delivery models for HIV treatment in Malawi. It focuses on understanding the proportion of clinics offering these models, the eligibility criteria for patients, and the health outcomes associated with them, such as viral suppression rates. By collecting routine medical data, the study seeks to provide insights into patient participation, resource utilization, and the sustainability of these models without external funding. The findings will help inform future HIV treatment strategies in high-prevalence areas.
