Improving HIV care for people not receiving treatment in Ukraine
Implementation Science of a Data-to-Care Strategy to Improve HIV Continuum and Drug Treatment Outcomes for Out of Care PLWH in Ukraine
This study is working to help people in Ukraine who have HIV but aren't getting treatment by using different types of information to find and connect them with the care they need, just like successful programs in the U.S.

What this research studies
This research aims to enhance HIV care outcomes for individuals in Ukraine who are not currently receiving treatment. It employs a data-to-care strategy that combines various data sources, including clinical records and case management assessments, to identify and engage people living with HIV (PLWH) who are out of care. By addressing unmet needs and improving linkage to care, the project seeks to ensure that more individuals receive the necessary treatment and support. The approach has been successful in the U.S. but is being adapted for the unique challenges faced in Ukraine.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals living with HIV in Ukraine who are currently not receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART).
Not a fit: Patients who are already receiving ART or are actively engaged in HIV care may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly increase the number of people living with HIV in Ukraine who receive effective treatment and achieve viral suppression.
How similar studies have performed: Similar data-to-care strategies have shown success in improving HIV care outcomes in various jurisdictions in the United States, indicating potential for effectiveness in Ukraine.
