This trial is evaluating a public health intervention strategy trial which aims to reduce the incidence of HIV at a population-level.
The proposed strategy is a two steps process:
The underlaying trial hypothesis is that HIV testing followed by immediate ART initiation of all HIV-infected individuals will prevent onward transmission and reduce HIV incidence in the population. This is a cluster randomised controlled trial with a total of 22 communities used as the units for randomisation. Enrolment of a population of 22 000 individuals among which 4 400 are expected to be HIV-Infected.
The trial objective is to estimate the effect of ART initiated immediately after HIV diagnosis on the reduction in incidence of new HIV infections in the general population. It will be conducted in two phases:
The proposed intervention has two components :
Component 1 "Test": HIV counselling and testing, and comprehensive prevention programme among the entire target population
Component 2 "Treat": ART treatment initiation for HIV infected individuals following two strategies
