Longitudinal outcomes of HIV- infected persons re-engaged in care using a community-based re-engagement approach.

Re-engaging people living with HIV (PLWH) who are out of care (OOC) is of utmost importance to ending the HIV epidemic in the U.S. We used DC Department of Health (DCDOH) HIV surveillance data to determine whether re-engaging PLWH results in improved long-term clinical outcomes.

Linkage, engagement, and viral suppression rates among HIV-infected persons receiving care at medical case management programs in Washington, DC.

Background: The District of Columbia Department of Health funds facilities to provide HIV medical case management (MCM), inclusive of linkage, engagement in care, and treatment adherence support. The objective of this analysis was to identify the differences in the clinical outcomes among HIV-infected persons receiving care at MCM-funded facilities compared with those in nonfunded facilities.

Methods: Newly diagnosed and prevalent HIV-infected persons were identified from the District of Columbia Department of Health surveillance system.
