Barriers and facilitators to the uptake of Test and Treat in Mozambique: A qualitative study on patient and provider perceptions

Abstract

ART initiation may be difficult for healthy clients in the context of Test-and-Treat. Specific strategies to engage this population are needed. Strategies could include targeted support for clients, community sensitization on the benefits of early ART initiation, client-centered approaches to patient care, and improved efficiency through multi-month scripting and increased workforce.
