View Award Abstract

WWH is seeking funding to increase identification of new HIV diagnoses, refer those with high exposure to HIV for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP) services, facilitate earlier entry to HIV care for those living with HIV, and increase consistency of care to retain these patients in HIV treatment and prevention services over time. To address health disparities and more effectively engage those groups bearing disproportionate burdens of HIV infection in DC, WWH will develop new and enhance existing strategies for community-based HIV prevention programs that aim to (1) increase the number of MSM, transgender people, and youth who are aware of their HIV status and diagnose HIV as early as possible; (2) link those living with HIV to treatment and psychosocial support services quickly and efficiently; (3) retain MSM, transgender people, and youth living with HIV in care to improve long-term health outcomes and reduce spread of HIV in these communities; and (4) prevent new HIV cases among MSM, transgender people, and youth in the District. WWH will leverage the success of our Community Health and Care Navigation programs to increase targeted HIV testing and integrated screening efforts for these cohorts, improve linkage to medical care and treatment for those diagnosed with HIV through our Red Carpet and Fast Forward Rapid ART programs, re-engage those previously diagnosed with HIV, and offer intensive care navigation and psychosocial support services to retain HIV-positive clients in care over time. Staff will also build on current approaches to client retention and HIV treatment by providing a limited amount of clinical services related to HIV care to clients where they are through WWH’s Mobile Outreach Retention and Engagement (MORE) program. Additionally, WWH will capitalize on the outstanding reputation of our PrEP Navigation program to reduce the number of new infections among MSM, transgender persons, and youth by increasing access to PrEP for HIV prevention with expanded PrEP Navigation services, including youth-focused PrEP Navigation; launching a new peer referral program for PrEP; and facilitating PrEP School, WWH’s existing targeted group-level intervention (GLI), to increase PrEP uptake and adherence to PrEP among MSM and transgender women.
