This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a new approach to case management — where you work with two case managers instead of one — can help people living with HIV or at risk for HIV get better access to care, food, and financial stability. The case managers will focus on helping you plan for your future and reach your goals, rather than just responding to immediate problems.
Many people living with or at risk for HIV struggle with gaps in their care, food insecurity, and financial hardship. This trial exists to see whether having two case managers who actively help you plan and build stability — instead of just handling crisis situations — leads to better health outcomes and quality of life.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to either receive standard case management services or to work with a specialized team of two case managers who focus on financial wellness and future planning. Throughout the study, you'll meet with your case manager(s) to work on goals related to your health, finances, food access, and staying connected to care. The study team will track how things improve over time.
