This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a new approach to help people with tuberculosis stick with their treatment and stay healthy. The trial compares two types of education and counseling support: one delivered by trained peer navigators (people who have had tuberculosis themselves) and the usual care provided by the clinic. The goal is to see if peer-led support helps patients take their medications consistently and reduces how many people drop out of treatment.
Many people with tuberculosis, especially those also living with HIV, stop taking their medications or miss appointments, which can lead to treatment failure and more serious illness. This trial aims to find out whether having a peer navigator—someone who understands what patients are going through because they've been there—can improve treatment outcomes better than standard clinic education.

If you join this study, you will be assigned to receive either peer-led education and counseling or the standard clinic education for your tuberculosis treatment. You'll attend visits at your clinic over the course of your treatment, where you may meet with a peer navigator or clinic staff who will help you understand your medications, answer questions, and support you in staying on track. The study also involves surveys and interviews to understand how the peer support is working and how it affects your treatment experience.
