Innovative strategies that recognize the dynamic process of lifelong retention in HIV care are urgently needed. Strategies such as conditional economic incentives are a simple and effective method for improving many health outcomes, including those on the HIV continuum. If coupled with other supportive services such as home visits (phase 1) or with tailored counselling (phase 2), economic incentives have the potential to strengthen engagement among the subpopulation of PLHIV who struggle with retention in care and could help to close the gap towards reaching global '95-95-95' goals for ending the AIDS epidemic.Phase 1: Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT05248100, registered 2/21/2022 https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05248100Phase 2: Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT05373095, registered 5/13/2022 https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05373095.
