Grant Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks research to improve medical care engagement and treatment adherence among HIV infected individuals in the first twelve months following HIV diagnosis, enrollment in HIV primary care, or initiation of antiretroviral treatment (ART). In targeting these periods, this FOA invites applications to address the need for efficacious interventions to promote rapid linkage to medical care following HIV diagnosis, enhance retention in early HIV primary care, and improve readiness to voluntarily initiate and adhere to antiretroviral medications. The overarching aims of this initiative are to develop and test interventions to reduce the time between HIV diagnosis and achievement of first undetectable viral load among patients for whom ART is indicated, as well as to reduce racial/ethnic disparities in HIV treatment outcomes.
