Additional home visits will be offered as needed or requested.
The first of these parent/HCP visits will be offered after 3 months, and the second will be offered after 6 months.
Phone support will be available and additional home visits will be offered as needed or requested for the duration of the study (ie, 2 years).
Patients who are able to attend one or two practice nurse visits will be offered a combination of nurse counseling and referral to Quitline.
After informed consent for this visit, women will be offered a CD4 cell count and clinical assessment (HIV-1 disease staging and investigation for opportunistic infections).
Then when you go visiting you will be offered them at everyone's house.
If a home visit is unacceptable, patients will be offered a telephone interview or postal questionnaire.
If no treatment was started at the first visit, information on treatments will be offered to woman and preferences will be asked.
An optional RCH clinic visit at age 6 months will be offered to participants and will include an eczema examination and blood draw.
The association between being in favour of RHT and being tested for HIV is interesting; it could mean that people who favour RHT deliberately visit clinics so that they will be offered an HIV test.
