Flexible medication pickup and peer support for people with HIV who missed care

This study is testing a new way to deliver HIV care called an "Adherence Club" model. Instead of frequent clinic visits, participants receive six months of medication at once through a convenient pickup point, and can optionally join peer support groups where they meet with other people living with HIV. The study wants to see if this flexible approach helps people who have struggled to stay connected to their HIV care stay healthy and keep their virus suppressed.

Many people living with HIV miss appointments or fall out of care, which makes it harder to keep their virus under control. This study is testing whether a more flexible, less clinic-heavy approach to delivering the medication and support can help people who have had gaps in their care stay engaged and healthier.
