Summary

Early post-discharge mortality is high among Zambians living with HIV admitted to the hospital. This may be due to missed opportunities in post-discharge care, such as inadequate follow-up and treatment. In this study the investigators will develop and pilot a new approach to post-discharge HIV care to improve care coordination and treatment adherence.
