Seek, Test and Retain (STAR): Linkages for Black HIV-Positive, Substance-Using MSM, New York City, 2012-2015

The Seek, Test, Treat and Retain (STTR) Collaboration Project involved over twenty studies in the fields of HIV and drug abuse (a list of the studies is given below).
These studies were independently developed, but were chosen for the
collaboration because they focused on one or more steps of the HIV treatment
cascade: Seek, Test, Treat and Retain. These studies were grouped into
Criminal Justice-related studies and Vulnerable Population-related
studies. The data collected by these studies included twelve common
domains (eg. Demographic characteristics, Mental Health) in each of which a
shared questionnaire or instrument was taken up by the studies and adapted to
fit the study.
The STAR study contains information on HIV+ individuals, their emotional well-being, and possible linkages to substance-use.
