The goal of this usability study and a cluster randomised controlled trial is to investigate the effectiveness of an adherence toolkit as a decision support tool to improve adherence to antiretroviral therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) is the adherence toolkit useable and acceptable among HIV care providers in Indonesian clinical practice? and 2) is the adherence toolkit superior than the usual care in improving adherence to antiretroviral therapy among people living with HIV in Indonesia? HIV clinics in Surabaya, Indonesia, will be recruited to participate in the study. HIV care providers will be included in the usability study, whereas people living with HIV will be enrolled in the cluster randomised controlled trial. People living with HIV will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the control group receiving usual HIV care and the intervention group receiving an intervention using the adherence toolkit in addition to usual HIV care.
