Scaled-up mobile phone intervention for HIV care and treatment: Protocol for a facility randomized controlled trial

Mobile phones offer a promising means to improve HIV medication adherence and health outcomes. There is limited evidence on program impact particularly in large, public-sector, HIV service delivery programs and among key populations such as men who have sex with men and female sex workers. The proposed cluster-randomized controlled trial would provide insights into the health effects, motivational qualities and cost-effectiveness of mHealth interventions for people living with HIV in public-sector settings.
