This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study looks at whether improving the organizational culture and practices at HIV clinics can help patients—especially Black and African American patients—stay engaged in their care and achieve better health outcomes. Researchers will work with some clinics to implement a program called ARC (Accessibility, Responsiveness, Continuity) that focuses on reducing racial discrimination and bias at the organizational level. The study will compare how well this approach works compared to standard clinic operations.
Black and African American people with HIV face ongoing challenges staying connected to care and managing their virus, partly because of racism and discrimination they experience in healthcare settings. This study aims to understand whether addressing bias and improving clinic culture can help reduce these gaps in care and health outcomes.

If you are a patient with HIV, you will continue receiving care at your clinic while researchers track how well you are doing with your HIV treatment over about 4 years. If you work at a clinic assigned to receive the ARC program, your workplace will go through changes designed to improve how the clinic operates, and you may be asked to participate in training and complete surveys. Both patients and staff may be asked to share information about their experience at the clinic.
