Following selection, the participating organisations will be responsible for identifying and tracking patients who have interrupted treatment; tracking newly identified patients until their first viral load test and providing outreach services; tracking scheduled viral load tests; counselling patients with high viral loads; providing care to HIV-positive pregnant women and their children; and linking eligible patients with social security schemes.
