Using a formative qualitative and comprehensive theoretical approach, we identified key barriers, facilitators, and appropriate interventions, including patient education, enhancing trust, and patient-centered treatment support that could be used to optimize the delivery of 3HP to PLHIV in our setting. These interventions are likely generalizable to other clinical interventions in similar populations in sub-Saharan Africa and other TB high-burden settings.
