Integrated management of HIV, diabetes, and hypertension  in sub-Saharan Africa (INTE-AFRICA): a pragmatic cluster-randomised, controlled trial

In sub-Saharan Africa, health-care provision for chronic conditions is fragmented. The aim of this study was to determine whether integrated management of HIV, diabetes, and hypertension led to improved rates of retention in care for people with diabetes or hypertension without adversely affecting rates of HIV viral suppression among people with HIV when compared to standard vertical care in medium and large health facilities in Uganda and Tanzania.
