Evaluating Factors That Impact Loss to Follow-up Among Postpartum HIV-infected Women in Mississippi

Completed

• Conditions: HIV

• Registration Number: NCT01190605
• Lead Sponsor: University of Mississippi Medical Center

Brief Summary

Women with HIV infection in Mississippi who are pregnant or who have had their baby in the past year can agree to fill out a questionnaire about what helps or hurts return to care for HIV infection after having a baby. The combined results should show the most common things that keep women from getting care for HIV infection after having a baby. This will help design another study in order to help more women get into care for HIV infection after having a baby.

Detailed Description

Following recruitment and completion of informed consent, a participant will be given a questionnaire to look at factors that help or hinder access to HIV care after delivery. After finishing the initial questionnaire the participant will get a Wal-Mart gift card for $15. The participant may then be asked to complete a longer interview for which she would receive an additional gift card for $25. The combined results will be used to design an interventional study to improve entry into HIV care after delivery.
