Summary:

This meta-analysis found that monetary incentives improved viral suppression and adherence to antiretroviral therapy among people living with HIV.

Highlights:
  • The study reviewed 13 randomized controlled trials.
  • Compared with routine care, monetary incentives significantly improved viral suppression (OR = 1.39,95%CI: 1.11, 1.74); p = 0.004; I²=42%), adherence to antiretroviral therapy (OR = 1.62,95%CI: 1.13,2.31; p = 0.008; I²=30%) and retention in care (OR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.02-1.57; p = 0.03; I²=9%).
  • Further research is needed to assess the long-term sustainability and cost-effectiveness of such interventions.
