Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: AdherenceExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Women randomized to the adherence arm will attend 3 prenatal sessions and 2 postpartum sessions with a peer facilitator. Each session will be delivered on an individual basis and consist of structured educational content followed by unstructured conversation, allowing the participant to ask questions and actively engage in formulating her plan to be retained in HIV care. The goal of the prenatal sessions is to introduce the intervention, foster bonding, and address outcome expectancies and self-efficacy regarding retention in HIV care postpartum. The postpartum sessions build on outcome expectancies and self-efficacy to develop skills for ART adherence and engagement in HIV care.
Group II: ParentingActive Control1 Intervention
Women randomized to the parenting control arm will also attend 3 prenatal sessions and 2 postpartum sessions with a peer facilitator. The educational sessions will be focused on parenting and baby care.
