In addition, the OPAL-East Africa project is conducting qualitative and costing research activities within both trials, and (2) The IBIS Megastudy, a NIMH-funded R01 award that aims to develop and test multiple behavioral economic interventions to promote retesting for HIV among at-risk adults following an initial (baseline) negative test, in Kenya and Uganda.
