An interventional study of Interventions will be developed in aim 2 of the study. in HIV Viremia and HIV -1 Infection, sponsored by Centre for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia. Active, not recruiting at 2 sites in Zambia. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-10.
Sponsored by Centre for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
The study aims to increase the reach of the person-centred interpersonal practices by developing and accessing a tailored, scalable, and sustainable approach that meets the distinctive needs of populations identified as most disproportionately affected by viremia in Zambia. The study population include pregnant and breastfeeding women, children, adolescents and adult that are more than thirty -30 days late for their next hospital appointments.The study will be implemented over a period of 36 months in 24 facilities in Lusaka and Central province, Zambia.
The study has three aims, that include (1) To assess barriers to sustained viral suppression through identifying prevailing pathways to viremia (2) Apply Human Centred Design methods with stakeholders to co-create person-centred pathways to strengthen viral suppression, with particular attention to vulnerable groups (3) To test P-CoRE package with a focus on high- priority populations contributing to remaining viremia.
Centre for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia is the lead sponsor of 37 studies on the registry; 4 are open to participants now.

Person-centred package that connects patients to service delivery, builds rapports and improves engagement in care leading to sustained viral load suppressions
Also known as: Possible interventions to be developed will include 1) community- based outreach and in-person tracing to identify and establish contact with viremic patients and establish barriers to care, Improved counselling using PCC and being non-judgemental as a way of establishing rapport and relationship with individuals using PCC approach tailored to barriers, Facility based Viral load champions, couple counselling and access to DSD models as a way of providing structural interventions to bring individuals back to care, keep them in care and maintain VL sup
Updated Estimates of Viremia and Care Status
The study will use a sampling based approach for outcome ascertainment as used in the Better Information for Health in Zambia(BetterInfo) study https://www.cidrz.org/wp-content/toolkits/betterinfo/, but adapt procedures so they are focused on assessments of viremia (rather than mortality as in the initial BetterInfo study) (21). This approach leverages data collected during routine care and augments it with targeted data collection in a smaller sample of clients with incomplete data (i.e., missing VL measurements) to provide robust and epidemiologically rigorous estimates for the full clinic population.
