Clinical trial for HIV/AIDS
Official title Project I Test: Implementing HIV Testing in Opioid Treatment Programs
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03135886
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study aims to find out if specific coaching methods help treatment centers start and keep offering HIV and Hepatitis C tests. It also looks at whether these methods lead to better health outcomes and cost savings.
- Who it's for
- This study is looking for opioid treatment programs (centers that help people with opioid use disorder), not individual patients.
- What's involved
- Participating centers will receive coaching to improve how they offer HIV and Hepatitis C tests and connect patients to care. Researchers will track how many patients get tested and how well the centers maintain these services.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts about 18 months, with key checks at 7-12 months and 13-18 months after the centers start.
