Trial Outcomes & Findings for HIV Treatment Retention Interventions for Women Living With HIV (Siyaphambili Study) (NCT NCT03500172)

NCT ID: NCT03500172

Last Updated: 2026-01-14

Results Overview

Retention and viral suppression at 18 months in those initially randomized to DTP vs. ICM. Participants are considered to be retained in care if they attended their 18-month final study visit and were engaged in care at 18-months. Viral suppression is defined as having less than 50 viral copies per milliliter.

Participant Flow

Recruitment took place at sex work venues and the TB HIV Care drop-in center in Durban, South Africa from June 2018 to March 2020. The first participant was enrolled on June 22, 2018 and the last participant was enrolled on March 23, 2020.

Of the 1391 participants enrolled, 777 met randomization criteria (non-virally suppressed) and were randomized to one of the two tested strategies. Participants who were virally suppressed at baseline OR lost to follow up prior to baseline randomization (n=614) continued with standard of care and were not randomized.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 18 months after enrollment

Population: This outcome is presented as an intention to treat analysis based on baseline randomization (DTP vs. ICM). All 777 participants randomized at baseline are included here.

Retention and viral suppression at 18 months in those initially randomized to DTP vs. ICM. Participants are considered to be retained in care if they attended their 18-month final study visit and were engaged in care at 18-months. Viral suppression is defined as having less than 50 viral copies per milliliter.

Population: Participants with cost questionnaire data collected were included in analyses.

Participants' cost data were collected by opportunity cost questionnaire for the intervention arms in the trial and are summarized descriptively to support potential future modeling. Participants' costs are defined as costs associated with attending each visit for HIV care (transportation, food, child-care and other; and money that would have been earned from clients (opportunity cost). Follow-up costs were for attending each DTP/ICM and HIV care clinic visit.
