Cost Analysis of the Positive Health Check Intervention to Suppress HIV Viral Load and Retain Patients in HIV Clinical Care.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Digital video-based behavioral interventions are effective tools for improving HIV care and treatment outcomes.

Objective

To assess the costs of the Positive Health Check (PHC) intervention delivered in HIV primary care settings.

Design, setting, and intervention

The PHC study was a randomized trial evaluating the effectiveness of a highly tailored, interactive video-counseling intervention delivered in 4 HIV care clinics in the United States in improving viral suppression and retention in care. Eligible patients were randomized to either the PHC intervention or the control arm. Control arm participants received standard of care (SOC), and intervention arm participants received SOC plus PHC. The intervention was delivered on computer tablets in the clinic wait
