View Award Abstract

The Prism Health North Texas Free World Bound High Impact Prevention Plus (FWB HIP+) project responding to CDC-RFA-PS21-2102 focuses on providing High-Impact HIV Prevention services for the racial/ethnic minority, soon to be released incarcerated and previously incarcerated or reentry adult population. The Texas re-entry population returning to the Dallas Health Services Delivery Area (HSDA) is predominantly Black and Hispanic, at high risk for HIV transmission and acquisition, and if HIV+, more likely to drop out of care after release. The project will utilize multi-layered approaches tailored specifically to ensure engagement of members of the HIV+ and high risk negative reentry population, their sexual partners and social networks. Efforts will concentrate on those most at risk for HIV infection and transmission, applying creative methods including social networking strategies, social media and use of tangible incentives to promote recruitment of individuals from the target population, specifically: a) those who are negative but at high risk for HIV to engage them to test for HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and to improve linkage, treatment adherence and retention; b) those who are HIV positive, previously incarcerated and not in care or soon to be released incarcerated individuals, to facilitate linkage to HIV care and treatment adherence. Collaborative partner organizations will augment the comprehensive HIV medical care and essential support services provided by the grantee. Key priorities of the proposed program include a) targeted HIV testing; b) linkage to medical care for those who are newly diagnosed, those who know their status and are not in care and those who are incarcerated but soon to be released to the Dallas HSDA; c) STI screening and treatment of high risk HIV negative persons as well as assessment for and prescription of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP) when indicated; and d) the use of high impact prevention interventions to promote risk reduction. Public health strategies and high impact prevention evidence based interventions will include Project START for HIV+ soon to be released incarcerated individuals, ARTAS as a linkage to care strategy, and Personal Cognitive Counseling for high risk HIV- persons. When appropriate, project participants will be referred to participate in CDC supported high impact prevention strategies provided by community partner's integrated functions including outreach and recruitment, testing, linkage to care using ARTAS, health insurance enrollment assistance, risk-reduction counseling, and adherence support. STI testing and treatment as well as assessment for, and prescription of PrEP and nPEP according to CDC guidelines and under physician supervision will be incorporated in the project. Services will optimize health outcomes for FWB HIP+ clients through seamless integration with PHNTX’s comprehensive system of care. The anticipated results of the project are to: 1) reduce the number of people who become diagnosed with HIV; 2) increase access to care and optimize health outcomes for people living with HIV; and 3) reduce HIV-related health disparities. FWB HIP+ will serve 368 individuals in year one of the project and 3,533 individuals by year five.
