DESCRIPTION:OVERVIEW The burden of hypertension among persons living with 
 HIV (PLHIV) is increasing in Uganda with the aging of the population of P
 LHIV and changes in diet\, lifestyle\, and work patterns. Our research fo
 cuses on integrating hypertension and HIV care by characterizing current 
 care delivery patterns and gaps in implementing best practices in diagnos
 ing and treating hypertension among PLHIV. We also use quantitative metho
 ds to describe these practices in the form of quality of care cascades\, 
 and qualitative methods to understand barriers and facilitators of high q
 uality management of hypertension as part of HIV care. Recently\, we used
  implementation science methods to adapt the WHO HEARTS protocol to integ
 rate screening and treatment of hypertension into HIV care at a large HIV
  clinic in Uganda. We will present our data on the effectiveness of this 
 protocol in achieving hypertension control\, as well as data on the imple
 mentation outcomes of the adapted WHO HEARTS implementation strategy amon
 g hypertensive PLHIV. These results guided the Uganda Ministry of Health 
 to revise national guidelines for integrated management of HIV and non-co
 mmunicable diseases. Additionally\, we will present our next steps to use
  implementation science methods to integrate the management of hypertensi
