Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Biomedical HIV Prevention Uptake at 4 Weeks
The proportion of HIV-negative adults, receiving an Aim 1 mobilization card, who initiate PrEP or PEP after mobilization. This outcome will be measured by pill dispensing records and Ministry of Health (MoH) PrEP and PEP registry records. Mean was calculated as the average percentage across the clusters (groups of nearby alcohol-serving venues).
Measured 4 weeks after clinic screening visit
Secondary Outcomes (6)
Biomedical HIV Prevention Uptake at 8 Weeks
Measured 8 weeks after clinic screening visit
Biomedical HIV Prevention Uptake at 12 Weeks
Measured 12 weeks after clinic screening visit
HIV Testing Uptake
Measured at clinic screening visit
Yield of Adults With Untreated HIV
Measured at clinic screening visit
Yield of Adults With Heavy Alcohol Use
Measured at clinic screening visit
- +1 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Aim 1: HIV-focused mobilization
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatrons and workers at drinking venues will be given a recruitment card for free HIV testing at the local clinic.
Aim 1: Multi-disease-focused mobilization
EXPERIMENTALPatrons and workers at drinking venues will be given a recruitment card for free multi-disease testing at the local clinic, including: diabetes, hypertension, HIV, malaria, TB, pregnancy.
Interventions
Patrons and employees of drinking venues that are randomized to HIV-focused recruitment will receive a recruitment card offering free HIV testing at the local clinic
Patrons and employees of drinking venues that are randomized to HIV-focused recruitment will receive a recruitment card offering free health screenings that may include hypertension, diabetes, HIV, malaria (if febrile), and TB (if symptomatic), and pregnancy at the local clinic
Eligibility Criteria
