This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a program called ARROW that uses peer support—people with similar experiences—to help young adults with HIV get screened for three types of cancer (Kaposi sarcoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and cervical cancer) and to help them complete cancer treatment if they are diagnosed. The program works at three levels: peer counselors support individual patients, healthcare providers learn from each other, and hospital leaders work together to remove barriers to care. Researchers want to see if this approach works better than a one-time education session.
Young adults with HIV in Zambia face a much higher risk of developing certain cancers compared to people without HIV, but many don't get screened early or complete their treatment. This trial exists to test whether peer support and coordinated care can help catch these cancers sooner and ensure people finish their treatment.

If you join, you will be randomly assigned to either the ARROW program or a comparison group. In the ARROW program, you will meet with a peer counselor who understands what it's like to live with HIV, attend peer-led learning sessions, and receive support to get screened for cancer and complete any recommended treatment over 3 years. The comparison group will receive one-time education and usual care. Both groups will be tracked to see how many people get screened and complete treatment.
