Choice over standard care may boost HIV treatment in Justice-Involved groups
NCT ID NCT07223398
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two patient navigation models for people recently involved in the criminal legal system who have substance use disorders. One group gets standard navigation, while the other can choose from a menu of services like in-person clinics, mobile health units, or telehealth. The goal is to see which approach helps more people start or restart HIV prevention (PrEP) or treatment (ART) and substance use care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Patient navigation (standard vs. shared decision-making with choice of services)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that giving people a choice in how they receive care improves HIV prevention and treatment uptake in justice-involved populations.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so results may not apply broadly. Outcomes rely on self-report, which can be inaccurate.
