Innovative HIV Care Strategies Using a Comprehensive Approach to Address the Needs of Priority Populations

This webinar features two interventions that use a comprehensive approach to address specific challenges faced by people of color with HIV.

  • The Black Women’s Project (BWP) focuses on delivering bundled evidence-informed intervention components to Black cisgender and transgender women with HIV. The intervention centers on a holistic approach to continued engagement in HIV care by bundling HIV treatment with evidence-informed trauma-based behavioral health access, trans-life care, and enhanced case management. The BWP seeks to address barriers many Black women experience in remaining engaged in care including HIV stigma, institutional racism and other socio-cultural determinants of health, intimate or domestic partner violence, housing instability, unemployment, and post-traumatic stress disorder all while balancing work and family responsibilities. The BWP works to improve health outcomes for Black women with HIV in a culturally responsive and relevant way through the delivery of bundled intervention components that, when implemented together, have a greater impact on positive health outcomes than when delivered separately.
  • The Curing Hepatitis C among People of Color with HIV intervention supported a multifaceted approach to help people with HIV prevent hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection or reinfection. This includes expanding HCV prevention, testing, care, and treatment capacity; improving coordination of linkage to and retention in HCV care and treatment for people with both HIV and HCV; bolstering coordination of Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)-funded substance use disorder (SUD) treatment providers to deliver behavioral health and SUD treatment support; and enhancing state, local, and tribal health department surveillance systems, increasing their capacity to monitor acute and chronic infections of HIV and HCV in areas of high populations of low-income, uninsured, and underserved racial and ethnic minorities.
