DSD for HIV treatment: Healthcare worker-managed groups – standard operating procedure

This video explores the standard operating procedure for group models managed by healthcare workers from the perspective of the client and the healthcare worker. It is part of a series outlining the standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the four common models for differentiated service delivery (DSD) for HIV treatment. 

DSD is a client-centred approach that simplifies and adapts HIV services across the cascade, in ways that both serve the needs of people living with HIV better and reduce unnecessary burdens on the health system. 

Recent innovations in DSD for HIV treatment for clients who are established on antiretroviral therapy (ART), can be described in four categories: 

  • Group models managed by healthcare workers; 
  • Group models managed by clients; 
  • Individual models based at facilities; and 
  • Individual models not based at facilities.
