How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Client-Centered Service Integrationmethodology: client-centered servicesBy delivering integrated, coordinated services through a client-centered approach, the organization enhances stability, dignity, and treatment adherence because services are tailored to individual needs across health, behavioral health, and social support domains.
- Continuum of Care Framework for Epidemic Controlmethodology: HIV Continuum of CareBy aligning services with the CDC HIV Continuum and UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets, the organization maximizes testing, treatment retention, and viral suppression because structured public health benchmarks guide systemic intervention and measure progress toward ending the epidemic.
- Mutual Aid for Trauma and Isolationmethodology: mutual_aidBy using mutual aid in support groups, the organization reduces trauma and social isolation among long-term HIV survivors because peer-led solidarity fosters resilience and belonging, particularly for those experiencing AIDS Survivor Syndrome.
- Root-Cause Intervention Modelmethodology: root-cause interventionBy identifying and addressing systemic barriers through individualized service plans, the organization improves long-term outcomes for people living with HIV/AIDS because sustained support reduces instability and increases treatment adherence.
- U=U as Public Health and Anti-Stigma Strategymethodology: U=UBy promoting sustained HIV treatment to achieve viral undetectability, the organization prevents transmission and reduces stigma because scientific messaging (Undetectable = Untransmittable) changes public and self-perception while advancing epidemic control.
