Summary

Retention of patients in HIV care following diagnosis and enrollment is critical to the long-term success of HIV care and treatment scale-up. The goal of this study is to better understand the factors that influence retention and engagement in HIV care among adult patients who are enrolled in HIV care and are not yet eligible for antiretroviral therapy (ART). The study will be conducted at four HIV care and treatment clinics (CTCs) in Kagera Region, Tanzania. This is a mixed-methods study with both qualitative (interviews) and quantitative (surveys) data collection. Our findings will be important towards designing programs that help patients remain in HIV care.
