The Cooperative Re-Engagement Controlled trial (CoRECT): A randomised trial to assess a collaborative data to care model to improve HIV care continuum outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Persons with HIV (PWH), aware of their HIV infection but not in care account for an estimated 42.6% of HIV transmissions in the United States. Health departments and clinics implemented a collaborative data-to-care strategy to identify persons newly out-of-care with the objective of increasing re-engagement, retention in medical care, and viral load suppression.

Methods

A multi-site, prospective randomised trial was conducted to identify newly out-of-care PWH using surveillance and clinic data in Connecticut (CT), Massachusetts (MA) and Philadelphia (PHL). All out-of-care participants were randomised to receive standard of care or an active public health intervention. Re-engagement in care was defined as having a documented CD4 count and/or HIV viral load within 9
