Bridging the HIV treatment gap in Nigeria: Examining community antiretroviral treatment models

This paper assessed the effectiveness of different large-scale, community-based models of identifying people in Nigeria who are living with HIV and linking them to treatment. The findings showed that going beyond health facilities is critical in expanding access to much-needed HIV services. The authors state that comprehensiveness of services, integration into other health services and deliberate attention to barriers to care are factors that contribute to effectiveness and are important to consider in model design.
