ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Differentiated service delivery (DSD) such as multimonth dispensing (MMD) aims to provide client-centered HIV services, while reducing the workload within health facilities. We assessed individual and facility factors associated with receiving more than three MMD and switching from ≥3MMD back to <3MMD in Kenya.METHODS:
We conducted a retrospective cohort study of clients eligible for DSD between July 2017 and December 2019. A random sample of clients eligible for DSD was selected from 32 randomly selected facilities located in Nairobi, Kisii, and Migori counties. We used a multilevel Poisson regression model to assess the factors associated with receiving ≥3MMD, and with switching from ≥3MMD back to <3MMD.RESULTS:
A total of 3501 clients eligible for ≥3MMD were included in ouranalysis:
1808 (51.6%) were receiving care in Nairobi County and the remaining 1693 (48.4%) in Kisii and Migori counties. Overall, 65% of clients were enrolled in ≥3MMD at the time of entry into the cohort. In the multivariable model, younger age (20-24; 25-29; 30-34 vs. 50 or more years) and switching ART regimen was significantly associated with a lower likelihood of ≥3MMD uptake. Factors associated with a higher likelihood of enrollment in ≥3MMD included receiving DTG vs. EFV-based ART regimen (aRR 1.10; 95% confidence interval 1.05-1.15).CONCLUSION:
Client-level characteristics are associated with being on ≥3MMD and the likelihood of switching from ≥3MMD to <3MMD. Monitoring DSD enrollment across different populations is critical to successfully implementing these models continually.
