Summary
This trial aims to improve HIV care for people who have been in prison by combining legal help with medical care. The program trains healthcare and legal staff to work together and provides integrated services to remove barriers to treatment.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who were previously incarcerated and are living with HIV/AIDS. It aims to explore how legal aid can improve their health outcomes. Participants should be interested in receiving legal assistance and willing to engage with healthcare providers trained in medical-legal partnerships.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effect of providing legal aid on HIV care for those formerly incarcerated, alongside a training program for healthcare providers. The goal is to see if these interventions help patients stay on track with their HIV treatment and improve communication among caregivers.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions like legal aid and provider training, traditional physical side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience stress or anxiety related to discussing legal issues or personal health information.

Other Research
The most common treatments for HIV/AIDS involve antiretroviral therapy (ART), which includes several classes of drugs: nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) inhibit the reverse transcriptase enzyme, preventing the conversion of viral RNA into DNA; protease inhibitors (PIs) block the protease enzyme, preventing the maturation of viral proteins; integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) inhibit the integrase enzyme, preventing the integration of viral DNA into the host genome; and entry inhibitors prevent the virus from entering host cells. These treatments are crucial for reducing viral load, preventing disease progression, and improving the quality of life for HIV/AIDS patients, which is particularly important in comprehensive care approaches like those studied in the Legal Aid trial.
