1.To compare IPT completion rates amongst clients across the five DSD models: Facility-Based Individual Management (FBIM), Facility-Based Group (FBG), Fast Track Drug Refill (FTDR), Community Client Led ART Delivery (CDDP), and Community Drug Distribution Points (CCLAD).
2.To understand individual and facility level factors associated with IPT completion across the different DSD models
3.To compare IPT uptake across the different DSD models
4.To compare the frequency of adverse events (AEs) reported by clients on IPT across the different DSD models
5.To document patient and service provider KAP towards the IPT/ART integrated model
