Additional HIV care team daily inpatient round and three telephone calls to remind the upcoming clinic appointment. These interventions are specifically added on "routine care" during the post-intervention period. The routine care does not include the additional round and the three telephone calls and is assessed during the pre-intervention period.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of HIV-infected patients who come to the designated HIV clinic for follow-up within 30 days after hospital discharge divided by the total number of enrolled HIV-infected patients

    Time frame: 30 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Factors associated with no follow-up withing 30 days after hospital discharge(analyzed in multivariable logistic regression)

    Time frame: 30 days
