Barriers and facilitators to implementing status-neutral HIV care in an urban jail system.
Article in Health & justice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPeople who use drugs face barriers to accessing HIV prevention tools. The status-neutral model for HIV care starts with the HIV test and offers linkage to HIV treatment if the person tests positive and linkage to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) if the person tests negative. The goal of this study was to evaluate barriers and facilitators impacting the implementation of a status-neutral HIV model of care in the jail setting.
methodsBetween June and August 2024, we recruited people working in and incarcerated in the jails operated by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department (Jail and House of Correction) for in-depth interviews. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) 2.0 guided interview development. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, coded, and analyzed using rapid thematic analysis (RTA) methods. Relevant themes were mapped onto CFIR domains.
resultsWe conducted 28 interviews: 13 with correctional and clinical staff and 15 with incarcerated people. Clinical and administrative staff members indicated that strong relationships with state and local agencies and the state’s proactive approach to preventative carceral healthcare helped facilitate HIV treatment and prevention pathways. Incarcerated individuals identified issues in the system used to report health needs and unreliable test result delivery mechanisms as major barriers. Staff also identified barriers, including understaffing, but overwhelmingly endorsed the jails’ existing systems of accessing and delivering care.
conclusionsFindings identified multiple potential intervention targets to enhance a status-neutral approach to HIV testing and treatment in jail settings, including leveraging existing partnerships, and educational opportunities for staff. Strategies that reinforce a patient-centered institutional culture (with a focus on incarcerated individuals’ health), improve care continuity for transitions into and out of jail, and highlight gaps in healthcare delivery are critical for successful implementation of status-neutral HIV care in jails.
