Summary

This study tests whether a team-based program (called ARTAS) helps people with HIV get connected to care after leaving the hospital and reduces the chance of coming back. The team includes infectious disease doctors and social workers who provide support during the hospital stay and up to 90 days after. The study will enroll 250 adults with HIV who are not currently in regular care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: team-based behavioral intervention (inpatient consultation and case management)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that a coordinated team approach in the hospital improves HIV care follow-up and lowers readmission rates.
What could go wrong: This is a relatively small, early-stage behavioral study, so results may not apply broadly. Success depends on patient engagement and follow-up, which can be challenging.
