CoRECT
CoRECT was a data to care project to identify and reengage people with HIV who were newly out of care.

The intervention employed strengths-based case management techniques and motivational interviewing to contact identified people within 30 days, reengage them in care, and reduce time to viral suppression.Resource from the RWHAP Best Practices Compilation updated on 03/19/2024
