Description:The CASCADE intervention offers same-day ART initiation to individuals who tested HIV positive and are ART-naïve during a home-based testing campaign (HBT). During the home visit after HIV testing, participants receive point-of-care laboratory blood work, results of their lab work, and pre-ART counseling with a leaflet summarizing the importance of ART adherence. After counseling, study nurses offer ART to participants. Participants who decide to initiate ART receive a 30-day supply of ART, and instructions to visit their health facility within 2 to 4 weeks for their first clinic visit and ART refill. For follow-up visits, including ART refills, participants receive usual care for ART patients (per national and WHO guidelines), with exception of longer intervals between visits at 1.5, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after ART initiation
