NCT ID NCT06462807
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program called ARC that helps HIV clinics improve their work environment and reduce discrimination. Researchers will compare viral suppression and care retention in clinics using ARC versus standard care. The goal is to see if better clinic culture leads to better health outcomes for people living with HIV, especially Black patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
ARC (Accessibility, Responsiveness, Continuity) program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that improving clinic culture and reducing discrimination helps more people with HIV stay in care and achieve viral suppression.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage trial with only 4 clinics, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, not a drug, so effects may be modest.
