This initiative created four evidenced-informed Care and Treatment Interventions (CATIs) that are replicable, cost-effective, capable of producing optimal HIV care continuum outcomes, and easily adaptable to the changing health care environment. The multisite evaluation of this initiative took a rigorous implementation science (IS) approach, which places greater emphasis on evaluation of the implementation process and cost analyses of the interventions, while seeking to improve the HIV care continuum outcomes of linkage, retention, re-engagement, and viral suppression among client participants.

Project Approach
Four interventions (jails, buprenorphine, peers, and patient navigation) were rigorously studied at 12 diverse sites to assess replicability and fidelity to their models. Building upon the Health Resources and Services Administration, HIV/AIDS Bureau's Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS), the practices outlined here have demonstrated success and replicability across health care settings. Organizations, sites, and departments across the country are encouraged to pick up these tested intervention materials, including SPNS’ newly launched—and first-ever—care and treatment interventions (CATIs), which are among the available intervention resources.
