“…Current treatment models use PN to assist patients receiving SUD treatment to maintain treatment, recovery, and prevent relapse (Eddie et al, 2019). The success of the PN model has been reproduced within CJ-specific environments, with studies showing that PN improves linkage to primary care (Jordan et al, 2013), HIV care (Myers et al, 2018;Westergaard et al, 2019;Wohl et al, 2016), retention in HIV care (Cunningham et al, 2018), ART uptake and adherence (Teixeria, Jordan, Zaller, Shah, & Venters, 2015), and viral suppression (Wohl et al, 2016) (Teixeria et al, 2015) upon release from the CJ system. For non CJ-involved individuals, PN has been shown to decrease time to PrEP initiation (Spinelli et al, 2018), increase HCV treatment initiation (Ford, Johnson, Desai, Rude, & Laraque, 2016;Trooskin et al, 2015), and improve retention in HCV treatment (Trooskin et al, 2015) and SVR (Ford et al, 2016).…”

“…A network of transitional care clinics is an important resource for formerly incarcerated adults, although connecting individuals leaving prison with these clinics remains a challenge. 47 Transitional care interventions, including case management and peer navigation, offer promising strategies 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 that warrant investigation regarding how to bring them to scale.…”

IMPORTANCEThe transition from prison to community is characterized by elevated morbidity and mortality, particularly owing to drug overdose. However, most formerly incarcerated adults with substance use disorders do not use any health care, including treatment for substance use disorders, during the initial months after incarceration. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether a prerelease Medicaid enrollment assistance program is associated with increased health care use within 30 days after release from prison. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTSThis retrospective cohort study included 16 307 adults aged 19 to 64 years with a history of substance use who were released from state prison between

“…Six months after release, the USA 10-multisite Enhan-ceLink Initiative reported a sustained retention in care for 38%, sustained retention being defined as having a clinic visit during each quarter in the 6 month postrelease period [23]. In Wisconsin, 67% of PLWHIV were linked to HIV care within 180 days in an recent observational survey [28].…”

“…In 2001, through the experience of the Project Bridge Program held in Rhode Island (USA), Rich stated that formerly incarcerated HIV-positive persons could stay in care when given adequate support [37]. Since then, observational data showed that many interventions were efficient: transitional case management [25,38,39], discharge planning [23,24,40], provision of post-release housing [40], HIV education [23], transportation assistance [23], navigation program [28].…”

Background: HIV prevalence in correctional facilities may be 2 to 10 times higher than in the general adult population. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) interruption is frequent after an incarceration. This, in combination with post-release high-risk behaviors, may have detrimental consequences on the epidemic. Although return to care after release from correctional facilities has been described in many North American settings, data from South America seemed scarce. French Guiana is the only French territory located in South America. In 2014, HIV prevalence was estimated at 1.2% among pregnant women and oscillated around 4% in the only correctional facility. Method: HIV-infected adults released from the French Guiana correctional facility between 2007 and 2013 were included in a retrospective cohort survey. The first objective was to describe the cascade of care in the 4 years following release. The secondary objectives were to describe contacts with care and to identify factors associated with return to HIV care, 1 year after release. Results: We included 147 people, mostly males (81.6%). The median time before the first ambulatory consultation was 1.8 months. Within 1 year after release, 27.9% came for unscheduled emergency consultations, 22.4% were hospitalized. Within 4 years after release, 40.0-46.5% were in care, 22.4% archieved virological success. Being on ART when incarcerated was associated with HIV care (aIRR: 2.0, CI: 1.2-3.0), whereas being HIV-diagnosed during the last incarceration was associated with poor follow-up (aIRR: 0.3, CI: 0.1-0.9). Conclusion: The risk of HIV-follow-up interruption is high, after an incarceration with HIV. ART supply should be sufficient to cover the timespan following release, several months if possible. Those not on ART at the time of incarceration may require special attention, especially those newly HIV-diagnosed while in custody. Comprehensive programs are necessary to support ex-offenders to stay on ART after incarceration.
