Roby<\/strong> defended his dissertation (title: <strong>Impact of Program Cost-Sharing on Medical Treatment Adherence for Persons Living With HIV\/AIDS: Program Evaluation of Ryan White Part C Program<\/strong> ) on March 2, 2020. His dissertation analyzed impacts of cost-sharing mandate on medical treatment of HIV\/AIDS in Mississippi. He found no statistical significance in viral load suppression and retention into care when it comes to cost-sharing. He found that stable housing is a significant factor in determining levels of viral suppression and retention into care. He argued that the deployment of team-based approaches are needed to overcome barriers to care including patient navigators, housing services, HIV primary medical care, and behavioral health providers.
