  • Description:
    Point of Care (POC) CD4 Count Testing and Care Facilitation (CF) is an intervention that combines POC CD4 Count testing and strengths-based counseling to engage newly diagnosed adults into HIV care. POC-CD4 testing provides CD4 counts within 20 minutes. Participants receive printed test results and are counseled on health implications. Care facilitators provide strengths-based counseling structured from the Antiretroviral Treatment Access Study (ARTAS)* to assist patients with overcoming concerns on HIV stigma, linkage to care and disclosure of their HIV status. Participants receive up to 5 in-person or telephone CF counseling sessions.
