Thesis

My thesis examines the engagement of people on antiretroviral therapy with HIV care in South Africa. Understanding how people engage with health services and their treatment over time is crucial to adapting service structure to respond to the changing needs of people in care. I am exploring engagement using group-based trajectory modelling applied to routine healthcare data from South Africa, in order to understand the patterns of how people engage with HIV care over time. This could help to direct the development of resource-efficient, differentiated services targeted at subgroups within the HIV positive population and their specific needs, as well as explore the applications of routine data in stratifying the people on antiretroviral treatment for intervention.
