Evaluation of a postpartum linkage and retention quality improvement initiative for women living with HIV in the Deep South

Scale up of a low effort, low cost intervention such as the one conducted at this clinic could significantly improve the retention and viral suppression rates of postpartum WLWH in the United States; specifically, in the Southern region where retention and viral suppression rates remain exceedingly low.
