Control
NO INTERVENTIONAll people who are living with HIV who are currently in custody in the Los Angeles County Jail are provided with Transitional Case Management and may also receive Whole Person Care related services regardless of participation in this study. Participants recruited from clinics who do not enroll in the study will be offered HIV/HCV care that follows the national HIV/HCV care guidelines, as provided by participating study clinics. Participants recruited from non-medical community agencies who do not enroll in the study and do not have a regular provider will receive a referral list of HIV/HCV care facilities that follow the national HIV/HCV care guidelines.
Navigation
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants will be paired with a navigator and will complete the following didactic sessions in one-on-one format: 1. Session 1: Intervention Overview and Basic HIV/HCV Knowledge and Skills Builder 2. Session 2: Rapport Building 3. Session 3: Society and Self and the Role of Disclosure 4. Session 4: Accompaniment 1 5. Session 5: Goal-Setting, Problem-Solving and a Disclosure Toolkit 6. Session 6: Accompaniment 2 7. Session 7: Accompaniment 3 (ONLY if needed) 8. Weekly check-in calls following Session 2 for six months
Interventions
Trained study navigators will provide one-on-one learning sessions and accompaniments to criminal-justice involved people to help link them to HIV/Hepatitis C care
