The aim of this study is to better understand the strategies which PLWH and their care-providers/teams use to help them stay connected to care. Using a strengths-based approach this study seeks to identify what actually works to address treatment disengagement, to better meet the needs of PLWH in BC and help facilitate their pathway back to care. This study grew out of the combined need to explore people’s experiences of and strategies for engaging/re-engaging in care, identified through the SHAPE (STOP HIV/AIDS® Program Evaluation) Study, as well as to provide an avenue to qualitatively identify both successes and failures within the RETAIN intervention in order to inform future HIV treatment engagement programs and practices.

This study has three objectives:

  1. To characterize the unique barriers and facilitators to HIV care engagement among key populations and Indigenous Peoples.
  2. To identify and describe the various strategies that healthcare providers utilize in order to reduce barriers to care and TI events among PLWH.
  3. To describe experiences of HIV care and ART engagement among PLWH who have experienced TIs or delayed ART initiation, focusing on their identified resiliency, successes, and self-identified struggles.
