Trial Outcomes & Findings for Retention in HIV Care for Hispanic Immigrants (NCT NCT03484117)

NCT ID: NCT03484117

Last Updated: 2022-12-23

Results Overview

A dichotomized outcome (yes/no) with yes defined as at least one visit to HIV clinic at both time periods (week 1-16 and week 17-32), and no defined as no HIV visit from at least one time period. Responses determined by review of the medical record for evidence of attended HIV clinic visits.
