In brainstorming sessions, formerly incarcerated people with HIV generated responses to a focused prompt regarding the main barriers to reengaging with care. These were consolidated in 35 statements. Next, participants sorted the consolidated list of responses into groups and rated each from lowest to highest in terms of its importance and feasibility of being addressed.

Following analysis, a seven-cluster map was generated, with participants rating the \u2018Practical Considerations\u2019 (e.g. lack of transportation from prison) and \u2018Survival Needs\u2019 (e.g. securing housing and food) clusters as most important.
