Brief Summary:
The goal of this trial is to learn if providing an unlimited transit pass will improve the health of people living with HIV that are experiencing unstable housing
The main questions it aims to answer are
1 Do participants who are provided the transit pass manage their HIV better
2 Do participants who are provided the transit pass use other social services more that could improve their health and quality of life
Researchers will compare the group that is provided with the transit pass to a control group that is not provided with the pass
Participants will fill out a baseline survey and a follow-up survey after 6 months Researchers will also look at participants HIV lab tests to see how well their HIV is being managed

Detailed Description:
People living with HIV who are homeless or unstably housed often face significant barriers to accessing essential health services including regular medical appointments critical for managing their condition The current standard of care provides these individuals with limited transportation support - specifically two 10 bus cards per month - which are quickly expended and often insufficient to meet their basic needs
The proposed trial aims to address this gap by assessing whether providing unlimited transit passes can enhance health outcomes compared to the current standard The intervention hypothesizes that removing transportation barriers will increase attendance at medical appointments and utilization of supportive services at The Aliveness Project a community center offering meals and social services to people living with HIV By enabling consistent access to public transit the intervention targets behavioral changes - specifically the ability of participants to reliably attend health care appointments - and fosters greater engagement with community support resources
The clinical outcomes of interest in this trial are increased rates of viral suppression which is a direct indicator of effective HIV management improved attendance at healthcare appointments and increased engagement with supportive services at The Aliveness Project These outcomes not only measure the efficacy of the intervention in improving health management among unstably housed individuals living with HIV but also provide insights into the broader implications of transportation accessibility on public health By alleviating a fundamental barrier to care the intervention aims to demonstrate a superior approach to supporting this vulnerable population in achieving and maintaining viral suppression
