Summary

This trial will compare two models for linking and retaining people recently released from custody to HIV and opioid use disorder prevention and treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals recently involved with the justice system who have used opioids or stimulants in the past year. Participants should intend to stay locally post-release, consent to HIV testing, and be open to learning about PrEP if HIV-negative. Those with severe medical/psychiatric issues or not staying local are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study compares two methods of connecting people released from custody to community services for HIV prevention and opioid use disorder treatment. It involves a Patient Navigator and Mobile Health Unit over five years, assessing effectiveness in linking participants to care.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on service models rather than medications, traditional side effects aren't applicable. However, there may be indirect effects related to accessing these services such as stress or anxiety.
