Summary
Description: This project will evaluate the main and interaction effects of four evidence-based smoking cessation components integrated within HIV care in South Africa: (1) intensive behavioural counselling, (2) peer support, (3) combination nicotine replacement therapy (c-NRT), and (4) varenicline. The investigators will also evaluate the implementation and cost-effectiveness of these interventions. This study is a balanced full factorial randomised trial of 660 adults with HIV and will be implemented in two diverse sites in Gauteng, South Africa representing both peri-urban and urban settings.
