Uptake of a Case Management Intervention for Continuity of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Treatment Among Individuals Released From Incarceration Living With HIV in South Africa
Observational analysis shows case management uptake improves continuity of HIV treatment in individuals released from incarceration, highlighting significant factors for success.
Key Points
Seventy percent of participants attended at least one case management session after incarceration.
Participants released on parole were 3.61 times more likely to uptake case management, compared to those who started therapy before incarceration.
Logistic regression analysis was conducted on observational data involving 185 mainly male participants aged around 33 years.
Findings suggest that enhancing HIV disclosure and social support may increase effectiveness of case management interventions.
