Reducing Barriers to Care for People with HIV with Visible and Invisible Disabilities

Using data to identify disability-related needs of RWHAP provider agencies and clients to assess outcomes along the HIV Care Continuum, the New York HIV Planning Council developed with recipient support recommendations to better accommodate people with HIV with disabilities living in the New York EMA to improve service delivery, engagement, and viral suppression.

Learning Objectives

1. Describe the process and elements crucial for creating recommendations for a subgroup of people with HIV with an unmet need.
2. Identify methods for disseminating the recommendations through a wide array of outlets that would allow ease of access for clients, providers, and other stakeholders.
3. Increase RWHAP jurisdictional awareness and services to address the needs of persons with disabilities.
