Study Details

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two interventions - Health Navigation and Health Navigation Plus among individuals who have been impacted by the criminal legal system. The main question it aims to answer is: • Compared with the Health Navigation group, are participants in the Health Navigation Plus group more likely to a) access HIV care, treatment, and prevention services and employment services and b) access employment services and be employed in community? Participants on the study will be: * Randomly assigned (like a flip of a coin) to participate in either Health Navigation or Health Navigation Plus. Participants will have an equal chance of being placed in either group. * Complete three surveys over the course of 13 months * Participants in the Health Navigation group will have two in person meetings and seven check-ins with the health navigator over 6 months * Participants in the Health Navigation Plus group will have two in person meetings and seven check-ins with the health navigator over 6 months, two in person and 10 check ins with the employment navigator over 12 months and up to $200 to support employment and career development needs and receive up to $140 to support health goals. Samples of blood, urine and swabs may be collected to meet the health goals.
