Abstract
Employment has emerged as a critical focus in HIV interventions for Black women. A multilevel, community-based employment initiative in Chicago, Illinois, focused on justice-involved Black women with HIV. This program addressed complex barriers through bundled interventions, including navigation services and case management, with a major focus on employment. The evaluation demonstrated improvements in employment outcomes and health care access. The initiative's success underscores its potential as a model for addressing the complex intersecting challenges faced by Black women with HIV. (Am J Public Health.
