          Abstract

          Lower mental health functioning, unstable housing, and drug use can complicate HIV clinical management. Merging programmatic and surveillance data, we examined characteristics and outcomes for HIV Care Coordination clients enrolled between December 2009 and March 2013. For clients diagnosed over 12 months before enrollment, we calculated post- versus pre-enrollment relative risks for short-term (12-month) care engagement and viral suppression. Both outcomes significantly improved in all subgroups, including those with lower mental health functioning, unstable housing, or hard drug use. Analyses further stratified within barrier-affected groups showed a tendency toward greater improvement when that barrier was reduced during the follow-up year.

          Translated abstract

          Un nivel más bajo de salud mental, el alojamiento inestable y el uso de drogas pueden complicar el manejo clínico del VIH. Combinamos datos programáticos y de vigilancia para examinar características y resultados de clientes del programa de Coordinación de Cuidado del VIH inscritos entre Diciembre del 2009 y Marzo del 2013. Para los clientes que fueron diagnosticados al menos doce meses antes de la inscripción, calculamos el riesgo relativo del compromiso con los cuidados y la supresión viral a corto plazo (12 meses) antes y después de la inscripción. Ambos resultados mejoraron significativamente en todos los subgrupos, incluyendo a los de nivel más bajo de salud mental, con alojamiento inestable o que usan drogas duras. Análisis adicionales estratificados entre los grupos afectados por obstáculos demostraron una tendencia hacia una mayor mejora cuando ese obstáculo fue reducido durante el siguiente año.
