ID-TOUCH for HIV Testing and Opioid Use Disorder in Jails

This study is looking at how well a program called ID-TOUCH works to improve HIV testing and care for people in jail who also have opioid use disorder (OUD). ID-TOUCH is a program that helps people get HIV testing and connect to services like PrEP (a medicine to prevent HIV) while in jail, and then helps them continue care after they leave. Researchers want to see how many participants use HIV services in jail, how many use PrEP if they are HIV negative, and how many get HIV testing in the community if their status was unknown in jail. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, are incarcerated at South Bay House of Corrections or Nashua Street Jail, will be leaving jail within a month, speak English, and have OUD.
