Disclaimer: Per a court order, HHS is required to restore this website as of 11:59 PM February 14, 2025. Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate and disconnected from the immutable biological reality that there are two sexes, male and female. The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology and condemns the harms it causes to children, by promoting their chemical and surgical mutilation, and to women, by depriving them of their dignity, safety, well-being, and opportunities. This page does not reflect biological reality and therefore the Administration and this Department rejects it.
 

About Project CAATCH

Project CAATCH (Consumer Access and Adherence to Care for HIV) uses evidence informed practices, including motivational interviewing, to address identified gaps in the continuum of care for client retention and viral load suppression measures. This initiative delivers a curriculum of educational sessions to promote client engagement and retention, in order to increase overall rates of viral suppression for all MassCARE enrolled clients over 18 years of age at three MassCARE clinic locations in Massachusetts.

About the Manual

The CAATCH Peer Intervention Manual is a curriculum that includes six core CAATCH educational sessions on the following topics:

  1. The HIV viral life cycle and medications at work.
  2. Communicating with health care providers.
  3. Understanding basic lab tests (CD4, viral load and others).
  4. Managing stigma and disclosure.
  5. HIV and substance use disorders.
  6. HIV and wellbeing.
