Zimbabwe's THRIVE project provides valuable insights into how strategically integrating the comprehensive STOP AIDS training package within DSD models can enhance AHD service delivery.

THRIVE-Zimbabwe aims to evaluate the STOP-AIDS package across an entire rural Zimbabwean district of Shurugwi. The project seeks to identify and overcome barriers to ​its ​implementation at the community and primary care levels.

The THRIVE project aims to dramatically reduce mortality among adults and children living with HIV by enabling access to critical prevention, screening, and treatment commodities, and centering local leadership and community-owned solutions to find and serve people living with AHD where they are.

The WHO STOP AIDS package of care refers to a set of interventions designed to reduce morbidity and mortality in people with advanced HIV disease, particularly children and adolescents. It focuses on preventing, identifying, and treating HIV-associated infections and other opportunistic illnesses. The package includes screening, treatment, and prophylaxis for major opportunistic infections, rapid initiation of antiretroviral therapy, and intensified adherence support.
