This study looks at how HIV clinics in Malawi are delivering antiretroviral treatment in different ways. Researchers will examine existing medical records to understand which approaches are being used, how many patients benefit, and whether they work well. This is not a new treatment — it's a review of records from clinics already providing HIV care.
Most African countries are trying new ways to deliver HIV treatment to make it easier and more accessible for patients. However, we don't have clear information about how well these different approaches are working, who they reach, or what they actually cost. This study will help answer those questions so countries can make better decisions about HIV care.

You won't need to do anything — there is no direct interaction with study staff. Researchers will simply access and review your existing medical records from your HIV clinic to see what type of care you received and how well the treatment worked. Your privacy will be protected, and your records will be used only to help improve HIV treatment delivery in Malawi.
