Summary
This study tests whether giving people with HIV or those taking PrEP two dedicated case managers helps them achieve better financial stability, food security, and health outcomes. Participants will work with their case managers to set goals and stay connected to care. The trial compares this approach to standard case management to see if it improves viral suppression and PrEP adherence.
