The Welcome Incoming Neighbor (WIN) Community Trial
Sponsor: Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Summary
Migration is common in rural Africa: in-migrants have higher HIV incidence and prevalence than community residents, but underutilize combined HIV prevention and care services, including voluntary medical male circumcision and antiretroviral therapy, increasing the risks of HIV acquisition and onward transmission. Uptake of combined HIV prevention (CHP) is critical in this vulnerable population. The investigators will conduct a community randomized trial to rapidly identify and link migrants to CHP in rural Uganda; if effective, the intervention could be widely implemented as an important strategy towards HIV epidemic control.

WIN (Welcome Incoming Neighbor)
WINs will conduct active community surveillance to rapidly identify and welcome in-migrants, provide them with information about the availability of CHP, utilize a motivational interviewing approach to encourage CHP adoption, refer in-migrants to free services, and follow-up in-migrants to assess and further encourage engagement in CHP.
