Ambitious targets have been set to end the HIV epidemic by 2030. Such targets assume that tools to end HIV exist and are successfully being deployed across populations, albeit unequally. Implementation science approaches are needed to understand the drivers of disparities and how to bring effective interventions to those most in need. We describe a hybrid implementation science approach, adapting a strategy to facilitate retention and viral suppression (VS) among people living with HIV/AIDS in Tanzania.
