Measure
Extended-release Naltrexone
Subjects in this arm will receive monthly intramuscular gluteal injections of depot naltrexone 380mg (VIVITROL) for 6 months. The 1st injection will be administered prior to release from prison or jail. Vivitrol- Intramuscular naltrexone (depot-formulation): Subjects in this arm will receive monthly intramuscular gluteal injections of depot naltrexone 380mg (VIVITROL) for 6 months. The 1st injection will be administered prior to release from prison or jail.
Placebo
Subjects in this arm will receive monthly intramuscular gluteal injections of placebo for 6 months. The 1st injection will be administered prior to release from prison or jail. Placebo: Subjects in this arm will receive monthly intramuscular gluteal injections of placebo for 6 months. The 1st injection will be administered prior to release from prison or jail. Placebo will be provided by Alkermes pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer of VIVITROL. Placebo will be identical in shape and form to active drug.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to month 6 post release

Population: Logistic regression backward stepwise models were used to find predictors of HIV viral suppression.

Percentage of participants that maintained or improved a level of undetectable HIV viral load from baseline (closest viral load to time of release from incarceration) to 6 months post release. Missing lab values were considered to have a detectable HIV viral load.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and every 3 months for 1 year

Population: These data were not able to be collected for analysis.

Baseline labs will be drawn while subjects is in prison, one to three months prior to release. Additionally, blood will be drawn every 3 months for 1 year to monitor changes in CD4 cell count.
