In countries experiencing the dual burden of HIV disease and health care worker shortages, information and communication technology tools offer the potential to help support HIV treatment adherence and secondary HIV transmission risk reduction for people living with HIV/AIDS. We conducted a randomized controlled trial (September 1, 2011-July 12, 2012) with follow-up through April 2013. Participants were recruited from two clinics affiliated with the Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare program in western Kenya. A total of 236 participants were enrolled, randomly assigned to intervention ( = 118) or risk-assessment only control ( = 118) and followed up for 9 months. Both arms had > 0.5 log10 reduction in viral load over time ( = .0007), a clinically relevant finding. A computer-based counseling tool is feasible and acceptable in a high-volume East African HIV setting and provides evidence-based ART adherence and risk reduction support that may extend health workforce deficits.
在面临艾滋病病毒疾病双重负担且医护人员短缺的国家,信息通信技术工具有可能帮助支持艾滋病病毒感染者坚持接受治疗,并降低艾滋病病毒的二次传播风险。我们开展了一项随机对照试验(2011年9月1日至2012年7月12日),随访至2013年4月。参与者从肯尼亚西部参与“提供医疗服务学术模式”项目的两家诊所招募。共招募了236名参与者,随机分为干预组(n = 118)或仅进行风险评估的对照组(n = 118),并随访9个月。随着时间推移,两组的病毒载量均有大于0.5 log10的下降(P = .0007),这是一个具有临床意义的发现。在东非大量艾滋病病毒感染的环境中,基于计算机的咨询工具是可行且可接受的,并且提供了基于证据的抗逆转录病毒治疗依从性和风险降低支持,这可能弥补卫生人力不足的问题。
