Community Antiretroviral Therapy

Newly diagnosed individuals (diagnosed in the prior 6 months) at intervention sites will be offered community ART delivery on a rolling basis during the enrollment window, initiating individuals into groups as close to their date of diagnosis as possible. Newly enrolled individuals will join existing community ART delivery groups, or when a new group is needed based on group size or geographic location, a new group will be formed.
