What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of dyadic case management in enhancing financial wellbeing, food access, and healthcare linkage for individuals living with or at risk for HIV. It specifically targets men who have sex with men, gender-diverse individuals, and cis-gender women who have experienced gaps in HIV or PrEP care. The intervention will compare outcomes from dyadic case management against standard non-medical case management practices to determine its impact on viral suppression and retention in care.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals who have experienced gaps in HIV or PrEP care and are facing financial or food insecurity.
Not a fit: Patients who have not experienced any gaps in HIV or PrEP care or do not face financial or food insecurity may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve health outcomes and quality of life for individuals living with HIV by enhancing their access to necessary resources and care.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown that targeted case management approaches can improve health outcomes for individuals with HIV, suggesting that this intervention may be effective.
