Summary

The North Carolina Bridge Counselor system is designed to help link out of care HIV positive patients back into HIV care. It has improved initial linkages and patient re-engagement overall, but for a sizable group of patients, the current system has not been effective, leaving a population of hard-to-reach, lost-to-care patients who remain out of care. There is limited understanding of the lived experiences of patients who fall out of HIV care and become recalcitrant to re-engagement because they are difficult to reach and therefore underrepresented in research. Out of care HIV+ patients who have not reengaged in care following the standard of care who chose to enroll in the study will participate in 2 semi-structured interviews and receive a field-based HIV re-engagement and treatment intervention (Project RAMP). Project RAMP will consist of up to 4 visits from an outreach research nurse designed to serve as an "on-ramp" to HIV care. At these visits, the outreach number will counsel on HIV care and treatment and obtain a medical history and labs. Results will be communicated to the participant's clinic provider in an effort to both encourage the patient to return to care and facilitate more rapid antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation by the clinic provider. The research team will also provide the participant in-person assistance with scheduling a clinic visit. Clinic providers may re-initiate ART prior to the reengagement clinic visit, with adherence support provided by the outreach nurse.
