Regional HIV Care, Prevention, and Testing Program
|
The Northeastern Partnership's Regional HIV Program expands the partners' capacity:
- to deliver Primary Medical HIV care at five regional mobile care sites (Bertie, Beaufort, Dare, and Halifax Counties in the NENCPPH region and also to Lenoir County,
- to provide nontraditional HIV/STD testing services targeting communities considered at risk (573 individuals were tested for HIV in 2007),
- to raise awareness of HIV and provide HIV prevention education (40 outreach activities occurred in 2007).
The partnership has recently received additional funding through grants to promote and sustain this initiative through increasing staffing of a regional coordinated care team, funding two regional nontraditional testing coordinators, and funding a jail HIV/STD testing coordinator.

The Jail HIV/STD Screening Initiative
Created in conjunction with the North Carolina Division of Public Health vision for reducing the spread of HIV, the Jail HIV/STD Opt Out Screening Initiative aims to expand and integrate HIV and syphilis testing for high risk detainees in correctional settings and to reduce the number of persons diagnosed late in the course of HIV infection. An emphasis will be placed on STD and HIV education and counseling in addition to testing.
