To address poor outcomes among adolescents and young adults living with HIV (AYA-HIV), iCARE Nigeria successfully piloted two-way text message antiretroviral therapy (ART) reminders together with peer navigation. Study participants had significant improvement in ART adherence and viral suppression at 48 weeks. Understanding facto of this intervention. We used explanatory, mixed methods to assess implementation outcomes (feasibility, acceptability, and adoption) and identify implementation strategies used or adapted to promote intervention success. Quantitative data included participant surveys, program records, and back-end mHealth data, and were summarized using descriptive statistics. Qualitative data were collected from key informants and focus group discussions with program staff and summarized using directed content analysis. iCARE Nigeria was feasible as evidenced by ease of recruitment, high retention of patients and peer navigators (PN), and successful deployment of initial text message reminders (99.9%). Most participants (95%) and PN (90%) found text message reminders were not bothersome or intrusive. Implementation strategies employed to facilitate intervention success included: (1) selecting, training, supervising, and matching of PN to patients; (2) tailoring frequency (daily to weekly) and mode of communication between PN and patients according to patient need; (3) routine screening for adherence challenges; (4) changing phone airtime stipends from monthly to weekly in response to rapid depletion; and (5) conducting telecommunication needs assessments, to identify and troubleshoot implementation barriers (issues with mobile devices, power availability). iCARE Nigeria was feasible and acceptable with high adoption by stakeholders. The implementation strategies identified here can be tailored for intervention scale-up in similar environments to promote ART adherence for AYA-HIV.
