 Long title: A community-based Phase III, cluster randomized trial of point-of-care CD4 testing and enhanced screening and prophylaxis in advanced HIV disease Short title: An enhanced package of care to reduce mortality in advanced HIV disease
REFNo: HS1605ES

Primary Objectives:
1. To assess 24-week survival with retention in care in persons with advanced HIV disease (CD4<200 cells/µL) with point-of-care CD4 testing compared to standard flow cytometry
2. To assess 24-week survival with retention in care with an enhanced diagnostic OI screening and prophylaxis strategy compared to standard WHO package of care in persons with advanced HIV disease
Secondary Objectives:
1. To determine incidence of OIs
2. To measure adverse events with enhanced prophylaxis regimens
3. To assess tolerability and adherence of enhanced prophylaxis regimens
4. To determine incidence and cause of hospitalization for persons with advanced HIV disease
5. To determine cause of death for persons with advanced HIV disease
6. To determine HIV outcomes of viral suppression in persons with advanced HIV disease.
7. Measure cost, cost-effectiveness, and budgetary impact of the CD4 testing strategies, and OI screening and prophylaxis strategies.
