About Marve
Strict adherence to antiretroviral (ARV) therapy is key to sustained HIV suppression, reduced risk of drug resistance, improved overall health and quality of life. Imagine an app that reminds you every day to take your ARVs and tracks your adherence. This app, MarvE, does that and more. It gives you detailed information on ARVs and its side-effects; it also lets the user record their CD4 count; and it allows you to find your closest Health4Men clinic in a completely secure and private environment.
This is a product of Health4Men Initiative, a project of the Anova Health Institute. Anova is dedicated to improving health with particular emphasis on HIV. Anova is strengthening and supporting the public healthcare system through technical assistance; providing capacity building; clinical expertise and facilitating health technology expansion in South Africa.
Known for its innovative HIV responses, Anova’s Health4Men Initiative is at the forefront of developing appropriate linkages to health services and information for men who have sex with men (MSM).
