    1. Yale AIDS ProgramYale School of MedicineYale UniversityNew Haven, CTFrederick L. Altice, MD TRANSITIONS Enhancing Linkages to HIV Primary Care in Jail Settings Grantee Meeting 10/25/2007 10/26/2007 Rockville, MD

    3. Project Goals To develop a unique jail-release model utilizing a jail-based discharge planner, community-based case managers, opiate substitution therapy and community outreach that results in improved HIV treatment, substance abuse and social stabilization outcomes To adapt and test a Money Management program for inmates being released from jail To compare the HIV, substance abuse and social stabilization outcomes for those who receive vs. not receive MM services.

    4. Enhancements to Existing Services Available for HIV+ Inmates Increased HIV screening for those at greatest risk Introduction of discharge planning for jail inmates Strengthened linkages to medical support and opiate substitution therapy upon release Availability of intensified case management Addition of rep payee and other money management services upon release

    14. Expected Challenges & Possible Solutions High rate of turnover in jail populations Solution Rapid linkage to the in house Referral Coordinator Poor acceptance of inmates of money management Solution - We will allow for self selection rather than randomization Transportation from jail to clinical care site Solution - Referrals coordinator to provide documents, bus token, medical information and medications on DOR if inmate will return to jail lobby after court

    15. Expected Challenges & Possible Solutions Lack of willingness for the Jail or Community HIV programs to integrate the TRANSITIONS program into routine care Solution - We have obtained support from administrative leaders and will work on a daily basis with field staff to overcome obstacles High rates of HIV testing but inability to provide post test HIV counseling Solution - Inmates who are tested will sign a release form for referral to CARE program; blood for WB confirmation will be drawn on same day
