DART participants visit the DART clinic every 4 weeks and they always see at least a nurse. They also have access to counsellors and doctors whenever they need it. They are always free to raise any concerns they have or to ask any questions they have. Queries can be passed up to DART Principal Investigators if needed. The DART sites also run occasional events where participants are informed of any new developments and are able to ask any questions.TASO (The AIDS Support Organisation, Uganda) has a seat on the DART International Coordinating Group and there are 2 community representatives as independent members on the Trial Steering Committee. These all help to ensure that the interests of participants and the wider community have a voice in the running of the study.
