Health outcomes for HIV-infected persons released from the New York City jail system with a transitional care-coordination plan.

Objectives: We sought to assess 6-month outcomes for HIV-infected people released from New York City jails with a transitional care plan.

Methods: Jail detainees in New York City living with HIV who accepted a transitional care plan during incarceration were asked to participate in a multi-site evaluation aimed at improving linkages to community-based care. The evaluation included a 6-month follow-up; HIV surveillance data were used to assess outcomes for those considered lost to follow-up.
