New program aims to boost HIV medication adherence for medicaid patients
NCT ID NCT05477485
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a program to help Virginia Medicaid enrollees with HIV fill their antiretroviral prescriptions on time. The program offered support from providers, pharmacies, and community groups, with extra help for those who were very late refilling. Only 4 people enrolled before the study was stopped early, so we cannot draw strong conclusions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- behavioral intervention (patient support and referrals)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could help people with HIV stay on their medication and achieve viral suppression, improving their health and reducing transmission risk.
- What could go wrong
- The trial was terminated early with only 4 participants, so results are very limited. The program may not work for everyone or in other states.
