This webinar was a part of the HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau’s Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) Integrating HIV Innovative Practices (IHIP) Webinar Series on “Replicating Innovative HIV Care Strategies in the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program.”
A core value of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program is engagement of people with HIV in their care and in their community's work to address the epidemic. This might include:
- Serving as members and leaders of planning bodies. See also our Planning resources.
- Participating in community advisory boards to provide feedback to clinics on services and their design.
- Serving as peer workers to other persons with HIV to engage and retain them in care. See our Peer Programs resources.
- Serving as volunteers and paid staff members in HIV agencies.
