Task-shifting strategy for HTN control (TASSH) protocol
The TASSH protocol include the following 4 steps: 1). Identify HIV patients with uncontrolled HTN: trained HIV nurses will take patients' medical history (whether or not they have a diagnosis of diabetes, heart attack, stroke, heart failure, smoking). 2) Next, they will measure the patients' weight, height, waist circumference and BP with a valid automated device following standard procedures and then conduct lab tests with point-of-care testing on blood glucose, lipids and urine dip stick. 3) Initiate lifestyle counseling and medication treatment every 1-3 months: The nurses will next counsel eligible patients on lifestyle behaviors for 20 to 30 minutes (increased intake of fruits and vegetables, moderate physical activity and reduce salt intake). 4). Refer patients with complicated HTN to physicians for further care
