## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT
Abstract:
The AIMS of the parent grant for this supplement have not changed. Due to impacts of COVID-19 we
were unable to collect the clinical data from the HIV ART clinics. These impacts included being
restricted from entering the ART clinics to extract participant clinical data, as well as an outbreak of
COVID-19 among our study staff that lead to a large number of illnesses and associated quarantines
that stopped field activities. In addition, one of our lead coordinators died of COVID, and another was
hospitalized in dire condition for an extended time. These data are needed to establish our primary
outcome for AIM 3, which is to establish whether retention in HIV care among newly enrolled clients is
enhanced over 24-months with the addition of NCD care. We now have clearance to return to the ART
clinics to collect these data.
