The goal of this initiative is to develop systems and programs to increase retention and re-engagement in care, and viral suppression among people living with HIV in San Francisco. Given our local HIV epidemic, we believe that the following individuals should be a focus of RRS efforts:

• Individuals with co-occurring conditions such as homelessness, mental health and substance use issues that may challenge their ability to consistently engage in HIV care and treatment.
• Youth, African American and Latino men and women, transgender persons and the uninsured.

• Individuals with a pattern of missed appointments or who begin to miss appointments.
• Individuals who are not virally suppressed, with a priority on people with low CD4s and other co-morbidities.
