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 mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: cash payment (guaranteed income)
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.
