Actual (reported)Change in Systolic Blood Pressure
The primary outcome is change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from baseline to 12 months. Following the research investigators' existing TASSH protocol, the SBP reduction in patients will assessed as mean change in systolic BP from baseline to 12 months. Blood pressure will be taken with valid automated BP device from the existing TASSH protocol.

Participants will be identified from HIV clinics during routine visits and provided standard of care.
Participants will be identified from HIV clinics during routine visits and will receive the 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
