Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program, in Boston, Massachusetts, implemented an intensive telehealth case management intervention combined with emergency financial assistance for 270 homeless-experienced people living with HIV (PLWH) to reduce COVID-19 transmission and promote HIV care retention during Boston's first pandemic peak (March 16-May 31, 2020). Our telehealth model successfully maintained prepandemic case management and primary care contact levels, highlighting the importance of such programs in supporting the care engagement of homeless-experienced PLWH and addressing the dual COVID-19 and HIV epidemics.
波士顿医疗救助无家可归者项目（Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program）在马萨诸塞州的波士顿，为 270 名有过流浪经历的 HIV 感染者（PLWH）实施了强化远程医疗病例管理干预措施，并提供紧急财政援助，以减少 COVID-19 的传播，并在波士顿首次疫情高峰期（2020 年 3 月 16 日至 5 月 31 日）促进 HIV 护理的保留。我们的远程医疗模式成功地维持了大流行前的病例管理和初级保健接触水平，这突出了此类项目在支持有过流浪经历的 HIV 感染者的护理参与和应对 COVID-19 和 HIV 双重流行方面的重要性。
