Impact of differentiated service delivery models on quality of life among people living with HIV in Uganda– a quasi-experimental study
DSD models were associated with modestly higher quality of life, better viral suppression, and lower mortality and LTFU compared to the standard of care. These findings support the broader adoption of DSD models in delivering ART across HIV programs to enhance the QoL and clinical outcomes among PLHIV.
