Project OTTER (Outreach, Testing, Treatment, Empowerment, Resilience) for Hispanic/Latino and Black Young Men who have Sex with Men in the Austin TGA - AIDS Services of Austin dba Vivent Health (VH-Tx) will offer Comprehensive High-Impact HIV Prevention programming to young men of color who have sex with men, ages 13-29 (YMSM of color), and their partners regardless of age, gender, and race/ethnicity in the Austin Transitional Grant Area (TGA) of Travis, Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, and Williamson Counties. In accordance with the jurisdictional plans listed in Table 3 of the Project Narrative, the Ending the HIV Epidemic plan, and the NHAS, VH-Tx will provide culturally relevant and linguistically appropriate programming to reduce new infections, increase access to care, and promote health equity. VH-Tx will achieve these goals by increasing targeted HIV testing, linking newly diagnosed and out-of-care PWH to HIV medical care, increasing referrals to Partner Services, providing evidenced based interventions and essential support services to PWH and HRN who are unaware of their HIV status, referring newly diagnosed and out-of-care PWH with services outside VH-Tx scope of care and support, and collaborate with local and state health departments to respond to HIV clusters and outbreaks within the Austin TGA. The program will integrate the strategies and activities included under Comprehensive HIV Prevention Core Program and Operational Program listed in the NOFO. Program Outcomes for the project period include: DIAGNOSE • Targeted HIV Testing: Health Promotion Specialists will conduct HIV Testing with 5,400 persons. • Integrated Screenings: Health Promotion Specialists integrated screenings with 5,130 persons. TREAT • Linkage to Care: Health Promotion Specialists and Care Navigator will identify and link to care 67 persons newly diagnosed with HIV (1.5% positivity rate) and link to care 45 previously diagnosed HIV, not-in-care persons. • Partner Service: Health Promotion Specialists and Care Navigator will ensure 126 persons have increased access to Partner Services. • Medication Adherence: Working with Vivent Health’s Moody Medical Clinic, 126 newly diagnosed or out-of-care PWH will receive treatment adherence services through the Partnership for Health EBI utilized by clinic providers. PREVENT • Referrals to PrEP: 600 persons vulnerable for HIV will have increased access to PrEP through referrals provided by Health Promotion Specialists and Care Navigator. • Condom Distribution: 1,000,000 condoms will be made available throughout the Austin TGA via the Health Promotion office, other VH-Tx offices, community outreach and events, CDN sites, Vivent Health Store. • Risk Reduction Behavioral Intervention for Persons with HIV: 292 PWH will view the Taking Care of Me video • Risk Reduction Behavioral Intervention for Persons at risk for acquiring HIV: 378 persons vulnerable for HIV will view the Sin Buscar Excusas/No Excuses video
