Development of a City-wide Rapid Antiretroviral Therapy Initiation Toolkit for People Newly Diagnosed With HIV in the Southern United States
We identified modifiable systemic barriers to rapid ART initiation in Memphis, a community disproportionately affected by HIV. The strategies developed to address these barriers informed the creation of a locally relevant rapid ART toolkit for future evaluation. These methods could be applied in other high-burden areas seeking to develop local rapid ART models.
