Summary

The Options for Delivering Isoniazid-Rifapentine (3HP) for TB Prevention (3HP Options Implementation Trial) study will be a three-arm, open-label, parallel, randomized trial. This hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial will be conducted among people living with HIV infection (PLHIV) enrolled in HIV/AIDS care at the Mulago Immune Suppression Syndrome (i.e., HIV/AIDS) clinic in Kampala, Uganda. The overall objective of this study is to identify a patient-centered delivery strategy that will facilitate acceptance and completion of a three-month (12-dose) regimen of weekly rifapentine (RPT) and isoniazid (INH) by PLHIV enrolled in routine HIV/AIDS care in a high HIV/TB burden country. The primary outcome will be acceptance and completion of 3HP. Additional objectives will be to evaluate the implementation and cost-effectiveness of each delivery strategy.
