Popis: Background: Persons with HIV (PWH), aware of their HIV infection but not in care account for an estimated 42.6% of HIV transmissions in the United States. Health departments and clinics implemented a collaborative data-to-care strategy to identify persons newly out-of-care with the objective of increasing re-engagement, retention in medical care, and viral load suppression Methods: A multi-site, prospective randomised trial was conducted to identify newly out-of-care PWH using surveillance and clinic data in Connecticut (CT), Massachusetts (MA) and Philadelphia (PHL). All out-of-care participants were randomised to receive standard of care or an active public health intervention. Re-engagement in care was defined as having a documented CD4 count and/or HIV viral load within 90 days of randomization. Retention was defined as having at least two CD4 count and/or HIV viral load results ≥ 3 months apart within 12 months of randomization, and viral load suppression as having a viral load
