The U.S. opioid epidemic has significant impact on rates of overdose deaths among people with HIV. The aim of the project was to leverage the PDSA methodology to enhance a population-based, health information technology, intervention to facilitate the identification and panel management of high-risk clients with opioid use disorder.

Joining forces to End the HIV epidemic, the Northeast/Caribbean AIDS Education and Training Center worked across our diverse region to increase access to HIV care and prevention through a community-driven approach. Regional partners throughout our Region II jurisdiction collaborated to strengthen HIV testing, PrEP, viral suppression, and structural competency.

Vaccine task force work to identify barriers and track COVID-19 vaccine completion rates in HIV clinics, leading to a high rate of COVID-19 vaccination uptake.

Harris Health System began its Rapid Eligibility and ART Dissemination & Implementation (READI) program in 2019. Here, we present two years of data that examine linkage to care, ART initiation, viral loads, completion of medical visits, and demographics for patients who received READI services and those who did not.

Development of a referral processes for persons re-entering the community from incarceration (in SOAR program), with referrals prior to release, resulting in higher rate of first appointments within 30-days; challenges for linkage to care through SOAR remain after release.

Described is the implementation of a virtual clinical preceptorship protocol piloted at a RWHAP funded clinic in San Antonio, TX by the local AIDS Education Training Center (AETC) program to allow health care professionals to virtually learn about clinical HIV management despite pandemic restrictions.

A NJ clinic has implemented multi-site STI screening for the clinic population and for higher risk groups. Gains made in implementation through prior quality initiatives were not sustained. The clinic worked collaboratively with a quality coach to identify how and why rectal swabs are overlooked, particularly when indicated.

The Yale AIDS program developed a three-hour HIV ambulatory workshop for graduate medical education programs. This interactive curriculum showed that it improved the knowledge, skills and attitude of trainees in HIV testing, management, and PrEP. This curriculum has the potential to be dessiminated to other residency programs.

NECA AETC has expanded training and TA to address diverse learners and asynchronous educational needs with innovative technology, including the Rise platform, podcasting, mobile apps for clinical guides, MIRO, and Airtable. This presentation will include live demonstrations and interactive activities, highlighting flexible modalities for the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

Before the pandemic, HIV providers were among the most burnt-out professions in our society. This workshop helps to identify the dangers to our mental, physical, and social health resulting from the demands our work combined with the exposure to the stress and trauma of our those we serve.
