View Award Description

YTG Prevention Program - Damien Center, a 501(c)3 community-based organization located in Indianapolis, IN, proposes to provide the Young Transgender Persons of Color High-Impact HIV Program (PS22-2203) (hereafter known as YTG Prevention Program) to 300 young (18-34) transgender and gender non-conforming persons of color in the Indianapolis Transitional Grant Area (TGA) annually. The proposed YTG Prevention Program will reduce new HIV infections, increase access to HIV care and prevention services, and promote health equity among Young Transgender Persons of Color and their partners in the Indianapolis TGA, a population that is both underserved and heavily impacted by disparities in care. This will be achieved by increasing Damien Center’s capacity to increase HIV testing and integrated STI/viral hepatitis screenings within the target population, linkage to HIV prevention and care services, providing/referring clients to essentials support services regardless of HIV status, and improving monitoring and accountability. Damien Center will work closely with program partners, including TransSolutions and GenderNexus, that have strong ties to the transgender community in order to most successfully deliver programming to the target population. The YTG Prevention Program will achieve the following outcomes: Prioritized HIV Testing •Short-term Outcome 1: Increased HIV testing among priority populations •Short-term Outcome 2: Increased HIV diagnoses among priority population clients unaware of their HIV status Status Neutral Comprehensive High-Impact HIV Prevention Prevention and Essential Support Services •Short-term Outcome 3: Increased access to prevention and essential support services •Short-term Outcome 4: Increased receipt of integrated screenings •Short-term Outcome 5: Increased access to condoms by priority populations Prevention Services for Persons regardless of HIV Status •Short-term Outcome 6: Increased screenings, referrals, and linkage to PrEP and HIV Treatment services •Short-term Outcome 7: Increased linkage to HIV care among persons with newly diagnosed HIV within 30 days •Short-term Outcome 8: Increased linkage to or re-engagement in HIV care among persons with previously diagnosed HIV, not in care, within 30 days •Short-term Outcome 9: Increased access to Partner Services among persons newly diagnosed with HIV or qualifying STI •Short-term Outcome 10: Increased access to appropriate medication adherence services •Short-term Outcome 11: Increased access to safe spaces among priority populations Major program activities will include Prioritized HIV Testing (including implementation of the Personalized Cognitive Counseling Intervention), Integrated Status Neutral Syndemic Screening Activities, Linkage to HIV Medical Care and PrEP Services, Re-engagement in HIV Medical Care or Prevention Services, Partner Services Referral, the provision of Status Neutral Prevention and Essential Support Services, and Risk Reduction Behavioral Intervention TWIST (Transgender Women Involved in Strategies for Transformation).
