Non-communicable disease (NCD) risk among people living with HIV in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa: evidence from a randomised trial of community-based differentiated service delivery

As differentiated HIV services provided outside of clinics are scaled up, clients may have fewer interactions with ancillary services for non‐communicable disease (NCD) prevention and management traditionally offered within facilities. This study was embedded in the DO ART randomised trial (2016−2019), which demonstrated that community‐based differentiated service delivery (DSD) improved HIV viral suppression compared with facility‐based care. We assessed NCD risk among men and women living with HIV accessing community‐based DSD versus facility‐based care in KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa.
