First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two support programs for Black men who have been in jail or prison and are at risk for or living with HIV. One group gets health navigation only; the other also gets employment help and up to $340 in incentives. Researchers want to see which approach better connects people to HIV care, prevention, and jobs. 350 participants will be followed for 13 months.
