DRP HEART - The population of focus for the proposed initiative is racial/ethnic minorities that identify as People Who Use Drugs (PWUD) and those most at-risk for HIV/AIDS or living with HIV, that have fallen out of care, that reside in Detroit, Highland Park, and Hamtramck area. The purpose of Health, Empowerment, Acceptance, Recovery, Treatment (HEART) is to further engage Black individuals that are entering SUD/COD services, or identity as a Person Who Uses Drugs (PWUD) to increase access to HIV testing, HIV prevention tools, HIV Linkage to Care (LTC), and to ensure linkage and retention to SUD/COD services. Goal 1: Provide linkage to SUD/COD treatment and/or recovery services for 80% of participants most at risk for HIV. Goal 2: Prevent: Increase access to HIV testing and linkage to care for individuals that are accessing recovery, and/or People Who Use Drugs (PWUD) by testing 625 individuals over the life of the grant. Goal 3: Diagnose: Using the approved dual rapid process, DRP will provide a second rapid AB/AG HIV Test to confirm the individual's HIV diagnosis for 100% of all participants that receive an initial reactive HIV rapid test. Goal 4: Treat: Ensure 100% of participants are engaged in HIV care within the first 30 days of diagnosis or re-engagement for those that have fallen out of HIV Care.
