A concept analysis is an endeavor in social sciences to ensure proper
usage of the term among researchers, theorists, and practitioners. The concept
of engagement has recently been touted as the term describing HIV-infected
individuals who are compliant with their highly active antiretroviral therapy
(HAART) medications. Accordingly, engagement has also come to mean that the
full compliance with not just HAART, but also compliance with lab tests,
medical visits, and counseling services. Post-release incarcerated male inmates
that are HIV-infected (IMIHIV) are an especially vulnerable population in regard
to access to care and compliance with HAART medications and services. Therefore,
full understanding of the meaning and context of the term engagement is imperative
to begin a conversation about these individuals. Thus, engagement in personal
HIV management will be stressed.
