Abstract

Optimizing HIV prevention may require structured approaches for providing client‐centred choices as well as community‐based entry points and delivery. We evaluated the effect of a dynamic choice model for HIV prevention, delivered by community health workers (CHWs) with clinician support, on the use of biomedical preve...
