We collected demographic and clinical information and reasons for not using telehealth services. Results. From October 2020 to May 2021, 209 PLWH were enrolled into our pilot program (Table 1). Of these: 48% were 45-64 years old (yo), while 21% were >/+ 60 yo and 3% < 25 yo; 75% were male, 85% Black; 48% MSM, and 84% virally suppressed (HIV RNA < 200 copies/mm ). When asked why they were not using telehealth services, 29% reported a lack of technology or capability to install MyChart on their phones, 27% needed further education, and 18% and had not prioritized installation of the application. Results. Overall, 287 were admitted with OUD and infections over the study period; 22 had HIV of whom 3 (14%) were diagnosed during the admission. Of the HIV negative, 1 was discharged on PrEP. Of PWH, most were Black (55%), male (68%), and Medicaid recipients (77%); median age was 48. Median length of stay was 10 days. Common bacterial infections were skin/soft tissue (55%), Bacteremia (41%), and Osteomyelitis (18%). On admission, few were on antiretroviral therapy (ART; 32%) or MOUD (23%). Of the 13 with a VL during admission, 100% had viremia (median VL 6,226 copies/mL). During the admission, 81% were evaluated by Infectious Diseases consultant and 50% by Addiction Medicine. At discharge, 11 and 6 had documentation of an ART plan and MOUD receipt, respectively.

We collected demographic and clinical information and reasons for not using telehealth services. Results. From October 2020 to May 2021, 209 PLWH were enrolled into our pilot program (Table 1). Of these: 48% were 45-64 years old (yo), while 21% were >/+ 60 yo and 3% < 25 yo; 75% were male, 85% Black; 48% MSM, and 84% virally suppressed (HIV RNA < 200 copies/mm ). When asked why they were not using telehealth services, 29% reported a lack of technology or capability to install MyChart on their phones, 27% needed further education, and 18% and had not prioritized installation of the application. Results. Overall, 287 were admitted with OUD and infections over the study period; 22 had HIV of whom 3 (14%) were diagnosed during the admission. Of the HIV negative, 1 was discharged on PrEP. Of PWH, most were Black (55%), male (68%), and Medicaid recipients (77%); median age was 48. Median length of stay was 10 days. Common bacterial infections were skin/soft tissue (55%), Bacteremia (41%), and Osteomyelitis (18%). On admission, few were on antiretroviral therapy (ART; 32%) or MOUD (23%). Of the 13 with a VL during admission, 100% had viremia (median VL 6,226 copies/mL). During the admission, 81% were evaluated by Infectious Diseases consultant and 50% by Addiction Medicine. At discharge, 11 and 6 had documentation of an ART plan and MOUD receipt, respectively. In the year following the admission, of 21 with follow up data, a majority were evaluated in the emergency department (68%) and readmitted (57%).
