The goal of the Leveraging Infant Visit PrEP INtegration \& tasK Shifting to Improve Postpartum HIV Prevention in Malawi (LINK) study is to evaluate both the effectiveness of a postpartum prevention package ("LINK model") among post-partum women and its implementation into existing clinical care models in Lilongwe, Malawi. The main question the study seeks to answer is: Do women at clinics implementing the LINK model have improved Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) persistence compared to women at clinics receiving the standard of care? Researchers will compare the LINK model to standard of care by randomizing twelve sites to either the LINK model or the standard of care. Then researchers will review existing medical record and health surveillance data, and qualitative and quantitative data collected from intervention and control sites.
Interventions
-
LINK model
(Behavioral)
The LINK model includes four elements: (1) linking postpartum HIV testing and PrEP services to early infant vaccination, (2) screening for HIV risk among those who test negative for HIV at the early infant vaccination visit, (3) male partner engagement to support status awareness within couples and PrEP persistence, and (4) community-facility linkage (CFL) peer mom for ongoing support of breastfeeding women using PrEP and follow-up of breastfeeding women who disengage from PrEP care.
