“…HIV treatment with ARV therapy can substantially decrease morbidity and mortality and reduce the rate of HIV transmission. [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] Approximately 16.9% of all HIV-positive individuals are in the U.S. criminal justice system 41 ; therefore, interventions that improve ARV uptake, as well as ARV adherence and persistence after release from jails and prisons have the potential to curtail the HIV epidemic by decreasing HIV transmission to others. This is particularly relevant given the deleterious effect of short-term incarceration and release on virologic outcomes [42][43][44] and the high frequency of self-reported HIV-related risky behaviors of newly released HIV-positive inmates.…”
