Six-month antiretroviral dispensing and other comprehensive, person-centered HIV care to increase service efficiency, client convenience, and risk of COVID-19 infection in three provinces in Zambia

The reduction of COVID-19 transmission among people living with HIV (PLHIV) remained a concern throughout the pandemic. The USAID Supporting an AIDS Free Era (SAFE) program, which operates in three provinces and supports 302 health facilities, and the Ministry of Health (MOH) in Zambia applied various person-centered approaches to reduce clinic visit burden and risk of COVID-19 transmission among PLHIV.
