Current antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence monitoring is premised on patients’ self-reported adherence behaviour (prone to recall error) and verified by blood viral load measurement (which can delay results). A newly developed Urine Tenofovir Rapid Assay (UTRA) assesses tenofovir in urine at point-of-care and is a novel tool to test and immediately respond to adherence levels of people living with HIV (PLHIV). We explored PLHIV and health workers’ initial perceptions about integrating the UTRA into routine medical care for adherence support. We conducted a series of once-off in-depth qualitative interviews with PLHIV (n=25) and health workers (n=5) at a primary care health facility in Cape Town, South Africa. Data analysis involved descriptive summaries of key emergent themes with illustrative case examples. We applied a deductive, outcomes-driven analytic approach to the summaries using the Implementation Outcomes Framework proffered by. The three relevant concepts from this framework that guided our evaluation were: acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility. We found positive perceptions about the UTRA from many PLHIV and health worker participants. Many PLHIV reported that the immediate results offered by the UTRA could enable them to have constructive discussions with health workers on how to resolve adherence challenges in real-time. Few PLHIV reported concerns that drinking alcohol could affect their UTRA results. Many health workers reported that the UTRA could help them identify patients at risk of treatment failure and immediately intervene through counselling, though some relayed that they would support UTRA’s implementation if more staff members could be added in their busy facility. Overall, these findings show that the UTRA was widely perceived to be acceptable and actionable by many PLHIV and health workers in the study.
