PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 months post enrollment

Population: 1 intervention participant died prior to 3-month follow-up and 1 intervention participant was lost to follow-up and did not complete the 3-month follow-up survey

During the baseline and follow-up surveys, participants were asked two questions related to their adherence to antiretroviral medication: "Think about the last 14 days. On how many days did you miss taking your HIV pill(s)?" and the same question with a 90 day recall period. Adherence challenges were coded yes/no at each time point, defined as (1) missing 3 or more days of medication in the past 14 days or (2) missing 6 or more days in the past 90 days.
