Abstract:
Incarcerated persons living with HIV (PLWH) have relatively high levels of HIV care engagement and antiretroviral therapy adherence during incarceration, but few are able to maintain these levels upon reentry into the community. In Louisiana, PLWH nearing release from prisons were offered video conferences with case managers housed in community based organizations aimed at facilitating linkage to care in the community. Of the 144 persons who received a video conference during the study period, 74.3% had linked to HIV care in the community within 90 days after release. Compared to the comparison group (n = 94), no statistically significant difference in linkage rate was detected (p > 0.05). Nonetheless, the video conference supplement was positively received by clients and case management agencies in the community and the lack of a detectable impact may be due to early difficulties in intervention delivery and study design limitations. Further study is needed to determine the value of the video conferencing supplement in other settings.

Phosphodiester Linkages
Phosphodiester bond forms when a phosphoric acid molecule (H3PO4) links with two hydroxyl groups (–OH) of two other molecules, forming two ester bonds. Two water molecules are released in this process. The phosphodiester bond is commonly found in nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and plays a critical role in their structure and function.
