The most recent meta-analyses of outcomes for persons with HIV (PLH) in the United States who are out-of-care [1] indicate both the progress made and the challenges that remain in designing and broadly implementing interventions for PLH. In contrast to two earlier review articles on this topic [2, 3], this meta-analysis found significant benefits of five different HIV-related interventions: patient navigation, appointment alerts; transportation and appointment coordination; social support, and data-to-care (ie using a surveillance system to inform providers when a PLH has dropped out-of-care). Reengagement and retention in care and, sometimes, viral suppression, typically doubled when PLH received an intervention.Yet, the very need for this review is disappointing: 25 years after the first benefits of treatment as prevention were identified [4–6], about 61% of PLH are out-of-care [2], 70% are not virally suppressed [2], and 43% of new infections are transmitted by PLH who have dropped out-of-care [1]. These are dismal outcomes–especially when there are clear benefits to PLH who remain in care–a longer, high-quality, healthier life, as well as benefits to their sexual partners who do not become infected with HIV [4, 5]. In addition, the CDC team's meta-analyses do not suggest intervention benefits on the magnitude of those needed to end the HIV epidemic.
