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.
