People Living with HIV & Community Involvement
A core value of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program is engagement of people living with HIV (PLWH) in all aspects of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program. PLWH:
- Serve as members and leaders of planning bodies.
- Participate in community advisory boards to provide feedback to clinics on services and their design.
- Reach out as peers to other persons living with HIV/AIDS to engage and retain them in care.
- Serve as volunteers and paid staff members in HIV/AIDS care agencies.
