REFNo: HS991ES
Aim 1: To evaluate whether the proportion of male partners of pregnant HIV-positive women who test for HIV, is improved after distribution of a letter of invitation to a wellness visit (dual syphilis and HIV rapid test, blood pressure, visual acuity screening and COVID-19 screening) to their female partners compared to the standard of care (standard of care invitation letter from the clinic).
Aim 2: To evaluate whether POC viral load testing with same day ART adherence support improves viral suppression among pregnant and post-partum women living with HIV compared to standard of care lab-based HIV VL testing.
Aim 3: To assess the proportion of HIV-negative male partners who initiate PrEP and HIV positive men who initiate ART among male partners who test for HIV through a wellness visit or standard of care letter from the clinic.
Aim 4: To evaluate acceptability and preferences for HIV testing and other health services among pregnant women and male partners using mixed methods.
