Many vulnerable populations find facility-based health care services to be difficult to access while community-based health care services—such as drop-in centers, mobile health services, and home visits—can be more accessible and welcoming. SOAR is testing the effectiveness of various community-based care strategies that are linked to facility services in improving HIV service uptake, care retention, and antiretroviral treatment adherence among different groups.
