In collaboration with Tennessee Department of Corrections, we developed and implemented a stepwise HIV telemedicine program to optimize viral suppression in the state prisons during 2010-2018. Clinic attendance increased from 50 percent to 90 percent during full implementation. Viral suppression increased from 30 percent in 2010 to 90 percent in 2018.
