HIV+ Substance Users Released From Jail

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: HIV/AIDS, Substance Use Disorders

In brief

The long-term goal of this project is to improve HIV and substance use outcomes and reduce recidivism for HIV+ substance users released from jail. The overall objective of the proposed R34 project is to develop and pilot test a multi-sector community-clinic collaborative intervention that can subsequently be implemented on a larger scale (as part of a future R01) to achieve this goal. Our central hypothesis is that HIV+ substance users released from jail can successfully overcome obstacles to re-entry and continuity of HIV care with individualized, culturally competent assistance in navigating both social and medical services. Aim 1: Develop and refine a collaborative CHW and re-entry program intervention that targets HIV outcomes, substance use and recidivism in HIV+ jail releasees. Aim 2: Conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial comparing the collaborative intervention (n=40) compared to treatment as usual (n=40) in HIV+ substance users released from jail.
