Abstract:
Individuals on probation and parole are disproportionately at high risk for HIV infection and experience significant barriers to accessing health care. This study was a two-group randomized controlled trial conducted at a community corrections office and was designed to link HIV positive probationers/parolees to HIV treatment in the community. HIV positive participants were assigned to one of the two treatment conditions: (1) Project Bridge (PB), an intensive case-management intervention; or (2) treatment as usual (TAU), involving standard referral to treatment. We hypothesized that PB would be more effective than TAU in terms of initiating individuals in community HIV treatment. We found no difference in rates of, or time to, treatment initiation when comparing the PB to TAU (all ns > 0.05). Additionally, there was no statistically significant difference between HIV medication regiment initiation by treatment condition (p > 0.05). Despite limitations, we found that probationers and parolees were willing to be screened and linked to treatment.
