NCT ID NCT07115901

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether giving a guaranteed income of $6,750—either as a lump sum or monthly payments—helps people with HIV who have recently been in jail stay connected to care and keep the virus under control. Thirty-three participants will be randomly assigned to receive the money in different ways and will be followed for 9 months. The goal is to see if financial support improves HIV care and viral suppression.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could show that financial support helps people with HIV stay healthy and engaged in care after leaving jail.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early study with only 33 participants and no control group, so results may not be widely applicable. It also does not test a medical treatment.
