What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The overarching goal of this study is to implement a transition community adherence club strategy (Full-SPARCS) for HIV-positive individuals transitioning from correctional to community settings in South Africa. The investigators seek to provide actionable findings to inform policy decisions to contribute to HIV care continuity with this population. The investigators note that effectiveness and scalability often conflict with intervention design; thus, the investigators have proposed testing whether a group approach is effective and the investigators will assess the costs of each component * To compare the effectiveness of Full-SPARCS to care as usual to achieve HIV RNA suppression 6 months following correctional facility release * To assess determinants of implementation of Full-SPARCS * To assess the scalability through costing and cost effectiveness analysis of Full-SPARCS
