The study aims to evaluate the outcomes and processes of implementing palliative care services for PLHIV. The two main primary objectives are (1) to measure changes in three primary palliative care outcomes: pain; depression and anxiety; and social support, and (2) to identify facilitators and barriers to implementing palliative care services at the district level. Using a quasi-experimental, two-arm, non-randomized intervention, it involves 850 PLHIV in Cam Pha and Van Don out-patient clinics to be interviewed in each of the four three-month interval official survey rounds.
