Mobile clinics and Drop-In care aim to reach HIV patients falling through the cracks
NCT ID NCT05887557
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new way to provide HIV care for people who have trouble keeping regular doctor appointments. It offers drop-in visits and mobile care at convenient locations like a needle exchange site. The goal is to help 400 participants in California stay in care and get their HIV virus under control. Researchers will see if this flexible approach works better than traditional scheduled visits.
