Why is it important?

The topic is significant to address the rising cohort diverse needs of people living with human immunodeficiency virus and the health system’s capacity and constraints. It is crucial to improve service quality, reduce healthcare costs, improve health outcomes, and accelerate the achievement of the ambitious United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS 95-95-95 target through offloading workload from overburdened health facilities, and improved adherence and retention. Furthermore, the study may help program planners set intervention strategies for the factors associated with the uptake of six multi-month scripting based on the evidence.
