Summary

This trial aims to address the racial disparities in HIV outcomes among Black/African American individuals by implementing an intervention called ARC (Accessibility, Responsiveness, Continuity) in outpatient HIV care clinics. The study

Who is the study for?
This trial is for HIV/AIDS clinics and their staff, focusing on improving care for racial and ethnic minority populations disproportionately affected by HIV. Clinics must be willing to implement new strategies (ARC) or continue with standard care and track patient outcomes like viral suppression and retention in care.
What is being tested?
The study tests ARC, an intervention aiming to improve organizational behavior within HIV clinics to reduce structural racism/discrimination. Clinics will either use ARC or standard care, comparing the effectiveness on patient outcomes such as viral suppression and retention over a period of up to 48 months.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves organizational interventions rather than medical treatments, it does not have traditional side effects. However, changes in clinic operations could affect staff turnover rates, job satisfaction, and potentially influence patient perceptions of discrimination.
