Brief Summary

Access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is still limited in Africa (11% of patients in immediate need in June 2005). Face to the scope of the need and the constraints (unavailability and cost of viral load and CD4 cell count, lack of physicians…), WHO has developed a follow-up approach based on a simplified monitoring. However, this "simplified" approach which represents a major stake for the expanded access to ART has been little evaluated against the gold standard approach.

  • Probability of treatment interruption

    Through out the trial

  • Probability of patients lost to follow-up

    Through out the trial

Study Arms (2)

1

EXPERIMENTAL

Simplify treatment follow-up

Procedure: Simplified follow-up approach of ARV treatment

2

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Standard treatment follow-up

Procedure: Standard follow-up approach of ARV treatment

Interventions

Simplify treatment follow-up : * some clinical consultations will be performed by nurses under the physicians' responsibility ; * the CD4 cell count and HIV-1 viral load will not be available for the management of patients ; * the biologic assessment for tolerability will be limited

1

Standard treatment follow-up : * all clinical consultations will be performed by physicians ; * the CD4 cell count and HIV-1 viral load will be available for the patients management routinely ; * the biologic assessment for tolerability will be available as needed
