• Description:
  The STREAM (Simplifying HIV TREAtment and Monitoring) intervention focuses on point-ofcare HIV viral load testing with same-day counseling and same-day delivery of test results, and task shifting to improve engagement in HIV care and viral suppression. Adults with HIV receive their point-of-care HIV viral load test at the beginning of their clinic visit and receive their test results on the same day. Participants who are virally suppressed and have no comorbidities are seen by an enrolled nurse (equivalent to a registered nurse in the U.S.) instead of a professional nurse (equivalent to a nurse practitioner in the U.S.). The enrolled nurse is trained to conduct all HIV-related tasks (e.g., taking vital signs and assessing adherence) that were previously conducted by a professional nurse. If the enrolled nurse detects clinical symptoms or abnormal vital signs, the participant is referred to a professional nurse for additional comprehensive care.
