Impacts of a multipronged initiative with community HIV clinics to support retention and re-engagement in HIV care.
Background: Despite advances in HIV treatment, gaps in care retention threaten the individual health of people with HIV (people) and public health efforts to end the HIV epidemic.
Objective: This project aimed to identify and address gaps in retention and support re-engagement in care.
Methods: A multipronged initiative at five community HIV clinics and community-based organizations (CBOs) included patient, healthcare professional (HCP), and community-focused interventions. Patient-oriented interventions included instructional videos for patients to view before appointments and conversation guides about barriers to care for patients to use with staff during appointments. HCP-oriented interventions included baseline surveys assessing clinic practices and challenges and audit-feedback sessions to review survey findings and devise plans to improve retention strategies. Community-oriented interventions included education sessions co-led by clinics and CBOs, micro-learning engagements at community events, and social media campaigns covering topics related to HIV care. Data were collected through surveys administered before and after patient- and HCP-oriented interventions and community education sessions, follow-up surveys administered after micro-learning engagements, and reach of social media campaigns.
Results: Patient-oriented interventions led to improvements in patient-reported empowerment and confidence in their ability to remain in care. HCPs also reported improvements in patient intake and follow-up processes after audit-feedback sessions. Community interventions reached over 1,000 community members combined, with education sessions and micro-learning engagements uncovering key barriers to HIV care and leading to improvements in knowledge and awareness of local HIV services.
Conclusion: This multipronged initiative demonstrates how patient, HCP, and community-oriented education can support retention and re-engagement in care.
