No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The population of inpatients is large in Zambia; however, because of poor linkages between hospitals and community HIV care, there are few data to analyze their engagement in HIV care before and after hospitalization. The goal of the study is to learn more about Zambian adults who are HIV-infected and get hospitalized. The purpose of this study is to gather formative, preliminary data, to be used in future grant applications to improve linkage and engagement in HIV care in Zambia.
