Same-Day Antiretroviral Therapy as a Behavioral Design Intervention to Reduce Stigma in Key Affected Populations

The goal of this study is to develop and implement a same-day ART (SD-ART) protocol for key affected populations with HIV in Peru. The development of the protocol will be guided by asynchronous online focus groups with HIV experts to define eligibility criteria and essential components of the protocol, as well as nominal group technique focus groups and in-depth interviews to identify barriers and facilitators to SD-ART implementation. Finally, investigators will pilot the SD-ART protocol with patients and clinicians using a prospective, longitudinal design integrated into routine HIV care.
