| Description: |
This funding initiative will support 20 demonstration sites to promote a "Rapid Start" connection or accelerated entry into HIV medical care and rapid initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for people with HIV (PWH) who are newly diagnosed, new to care, or out of care. Recipients will replicate and expand current models of rapid ART that have been identified as successful interventions under a previously funded SPNS project. These models of rapid ART will be implemented in communities to accelerate the time period from new HIV diagnosis to entry into care, increase faster linkage and engagement into care for those out of care, and achieve and sustain viral suppression. This initiative will target organizations who have the capacity and infrastructure to support rapid ART implementation, but have not yet been able to, with the goal of replicating and expanding successful rapid ART models. |
