Information, support and outreach for people with HIV are important so there is no disruption is care. How does the state and city provide information to the community?
The Department of Health, the AIDS Institute and New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (CDOHMH) are providing community-based programs with information so that they can assist and support people with HIV. There are also specific trainings for HIV/AIDS Services Administration (HASA) workers and COBRA Case Management providers. Clinics, hospitals and individual doctors who treat HIV positive patients will have access to educational materials. Many HIV providers and community-based organizations already have experience working with the HIV SNPs.
