The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to compare a social network-based behavioral intervention known as microclinics to standard HIV clinical care alone in helping patients receiving HIV care on Mfangano, Remba and Ringiti Islands, Kenya remain adherent to clinic appointments. The study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of microclinics on reducing gaps in clinical care, HIV viral load and HIV-related stigma, compared to standard HIV clinical care alone. By doing this research study, the investigators hope to learn whether microclinics are a useful social strategy for improving delivery of HIV treatment in rural Kenya.
