Abstract
People living homeless and people with substance use disorders are at increased risk for HIV but experience multiple intersecting barriers to accessing medical care. Low-barrier care has emerged as a strategy to engage persons with complex needs in care, particularly in the fields of HIV and substance use treatment. We describe our experience implementing low-barrier whole person care for HIV treatment and prevention at 3 community-embedded sites in King County, Washington, and outline key operational and clinic characteristics that helped facilitate success.
