Summary

This trial aims to see if giving people living with HIV and unstable housing an unlimited transit pass will help improve their health. Researchers want to know if those who receive the pass manage their HIV better and use

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people living with HIV who don't have stable housing. Participants should be willing to complete surveys and allow access to their HIV lab tests. There are no specific exclusion criteria provided, but typically participants would need to meet certain health standards.
What is being tested?
The study is testing whether giving out unlimited transit passes can help improve the management of HIV and increase the use of social services among unstably housed individuals. It compares a group with these passes against one without, over six months.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves providing transportation assistance rather than a medical intervention, there are no direct side effects from drugs or treatments. However, changes in lifestyle or stress levels due to increased mobility could indirectly affect participants.
