Summary

This implementation study is testing whether community members can use a 3-step model (prepare, roll-out and sustain) to implement an efficacious peer group HIV prevention intervention with fidelity and effectiveness in a single district in Southern Malawi. A collaborative partnership including university researchers and district government, health system and traditional leaders will support community volunteers in implementation. Both the implementation process and the effectiveness of the intervention when implemented by communities will be evaluated.
