Migrant populations represent an increasing proportion of newly referred people living with HIV in Canada, particularly in Quebec. Timely HIV care of newly referred patients has important individual-level health benefits that can result in decreased transmission and benefit the society as a whole. Yet, the timing of events in the HIV care cascade (from linkage to care to sustained viral suppression) together with the specific experience of care of these vulnerable populations (asylum-seekers, international students, patients with no status) who often face specific psycho-social and/or financial issues, has rarely been studied. In particular, little is known about their experience of HIV care whether they are referred to a multidisciplinary clinic or a physician-only clinic. In a context where B/F/TAF will be provided free-of-charge to all enrolled participants including migrant populations, we aim to investigate what model of care can best address current deficiencies in the standard HIV care cascade for newly-referred patients, which often involves delays in linkage to care and starting ART.

Change in perceived problem solving
Subscale of the Patient-Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC) measure. The PACIC consists of 5 scales and an overall summary score. Items 12 to 15 are about "Problem Solving/Contextual"; each can be scored from 1 to 5 (higher scores mean a better outcome and lower scores mean a worse outcome).
Change through study completion, an average of 2 years by model of care
Change in perceived provider empathy
The Consultation and Relational Empathy (CARE) measure
Change through study completion, an average of 2 years by model of care
Change in treatment satisfaction
HIV Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (HIVTSQ). The revised version of the HIVTSQ-status contains 10 items (Woodcock et al., 2006). Items are rated from 0 to 6, with response options adjusted to the item (higher scores mean a better outcome and lower scores mean a worse outcome).

The Chronic Viral Illness Service at the Glen hospital of the MUHC will provide care with a multidisciplinary assessment, according to local current standard practice. Each newly-referred patient at the CVIS will be first received by a dedicated nurse, who then orients referral to a physician and/or a social worker and/or a pharmacist.
The Jewish General Hospital will provide care as per current local standard practice. Each newly-referred patient will be assessed by a clinician. Blood tests will be performed by central laboratory nurses who are not part of the HIV clinic.
B/F/TAF (Biktarvy®) is a fixed-dose combination of bictegravir (50 mg), emtricitabine (200 mg), and tenofovir alafenamide (25 mg), administered orally, once daily, without food requirements. Participating patients will receive the medication free of charge.
HIV-1 infected patients, ART-naïve, newly referred at the study sites (CVIS or JGH). Based on experience, over 70% of these new patients would qualify as vulnerable (asylum seekers, migrants, international students with low healthcare coverage).
