Improving HIV Care for Formerly Incarcerated Individuals

This study is looking at how legal help can improve HIV care for people who have been in jail or prison. It's testing two main things: a special training for healthcare and legal staff called "Organizational Partnerships" to help them work together better, and a program called "HIV Continuum Care" that helps identify and re-engage people with HIV who are not currently receiving care. The study wants to see if these interventions can help people living with HIV achieve better health outcomes, like lowering their viral load (the amount of HIV in their blood) and staying connected to their HIV treatment. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, living with HIV with a viral load over 200 copies/mL, and have a history of incarceration. The study plans to enroll 100 people, but its current status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 100 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
What's involved
Participants will be included in a pilot trial, and their HIV viral load, linkage to care, retention in care, and adherence to antiretroviral therapy will be measured at 6 months.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants' HIV viral load and other outcomes will be measured at 6 months after starting the study.
