This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a team-based approach to help people with HIV who are in the hospital. Instead of getting standard care alone, some participants will work with a social worker and an HIV specialist who coordinate to help them start antiretroviral treatment (the medication used to treat HIV) and connect them to ongoing care after they leave the hospital.
Many people with HIV who are hospitalized don't stay connected to treatment after they're discharged, which can lead to serious health problems and readmission to the hospital. This trial wants to see if having a coordinated team approach during hospitalization can help patients stick with their treatment and avoid coming back to the hospital.

If you are in the hospital and qualify for this trial, you would either receive standard hospital care (the control group) or standard care plus help from a social worker and HIV specialist who will work together to help you start treatment and plan your care after you leave the hospital. The trial will track whether you connect to ongoing HIV care and whether you end up back in the hospital in the months following your discharge.
