Strategies for People with HIV (PWH) who are out of HIV care

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of five intervention strategies: patient navigation, appointment help/alerts, psychosocial support, transportation/appointment accompaniment, and data-to-care on HIV care outcomes among persons with HIV (PWH) who are out of care (OOC). These strategies were effective for improving most HIV care outcomes among OOC PWH. More work is needed for consistent definitions of OOC and HIV care outcomes, better reporting of cost data, and identifying how best to implement and scale-up effective strategies to engage and retain OOC PWH in care.
