John is a 46-year-old White male who was diagnosed with HIV in 2007 and with AIDS in 2014. He has been prescribed ARTs but his MA is inconsistent. In 2012, John was hospitalized; there he was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver and declining kidney function. In 2013, John’s medication regiment stopped working due to nonadherence to the medication prescribed to him. John is an alcoholic and has been for the past 15 years, having been a hard liquor drinker in the past, but currently drinking exclusively beer; he has a long history of substance abuse but is not currently using illicit drugs. John has recently been housed in a community-based Section 8 apartment near your ASO; he is a new client to your organization that provides behavioral health services.
