Condition: HIV · Sponsor: Johns Hopkins University
People living with HIV (PLWH) are at high risk of poor health outcomes after being discharged from the hospital. This study is designed to test whether providing structured care at home-either with or without nutritional support-can help reduce the risk of death within six months of discharge and improve long-term health outcomes. The investigators are conducting a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of home-based care on post-hospital recovery. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) standard post-discharge care, (2) home-based care that includes medical assessments, support for taking HIV medications (adherence support), and psychosocial counseling, or (3) the same home-based care plus food parcels to support nutrition. This is a three-arm, individually randomized clinical trial and a type-1 hybrid implementation-effectiveness study, which means the investigators are not only testing whether the interventions improve health outcomes, but also examining how the interventions are delivered and whether the interventions are practical and acceptable in real-world settings. The trial begins with a pilot phase to test the investigators enrollment procedures and improve baseline data collection. In addition to measuring whether the interventions reduce the risk of death, the study will assess how many people receive the intervention, whether it is acceptable to patients and families, and how consistently it is delivered.
