Summary
This study examines a program in two Boston-area jails designed to make HIV testing and treatment easier for people with opioid use disorder. Researchers will follow about 59 participants who are leaving jail within a month to see if they use HIV services, get tested, or take PrEP. The goal is to identify barriers to HIV care in the jail setting and understand how to improve access.
