Clinical Trial Description

Trans women carry the largest population burden of HIV in San Francisco and have low utilization of mental health and substance use services. The investigators' goal is to use lessons learned in a prior previously-funded Special Projects of National Significance to conduct a pilot peer delivered mHealth support and navigation intervention for trans women living with HIV. The investigators will work with partners in San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) clinics. The SFDPH is a HRSA-funded entity with trans-specific clinics and a host of in-house referrals to trans-competent mental health and substance use services. Despite availability of trans-specific services, considerable systems barriers exist. Trans clinics have limited clinic hours, and providers have large patient loads wherein medical gender affirmation and HIV care needs must be attended to in short visits. Visit and clinic time and large patient volume leaves providers with little time to ensure continuity in mental health and substance use referrals. To overcome these issues, a peer navigator will deliver mobile and in-person support and navigation to increase substance use and mental health service initiation and engagement among trans women living with HIV in trans health clinics. The research team has already conducted formative research with community members, key stakeholders and providers in San Francisco to help shape and refine the intervention model during the implementation phase of the research.In the implementation phase, the research team will pilot the mSN intervention to improve initiation and engagement in mental health and substance use (MHSU) services. ;
