Description: In the United States, social and structural determinants of health (SDOH) are associated with racial/ethnic disparities in HIV infection. Cis-gender Black women (CgBW) account for the largest percentage of women living with HIV and the highest number of annual HIV infections of any racial/ethnic group among women. These disparities are associated with several SDOH including the five National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) quality of life indicators: self-reported good or better health, unmet need for mental health services, employment, hunger/food insecurity, and homelessness and unstable housing. Organizations will be funded to offer integrated care service models that provide HIV care and treatment and other health care and essential support services to Cis-gender Black women with HIV (CgBWH) through Community and Clinic Collaboratives (CCCs). CCCs, comprised of clinics and federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), community-based organizations (CBOs), and local and state health departments (HDs) serving CgBW, will screen, navigate and link CgBWH to comprehensive and integrated health services including chronic disease care, reproductive health, primary care, pediatric care, and aging-related services. Recipients will be funded to implement four strategies: (1) Offer comprehensive and integrated models of care that provide HIV care and treatment and other health care services to CgBWH through CCCs; (2) Offer whole person health screening, navigation and linkage to STI, behavioral health (mental health and substance use disorders) and other subsistence and essential support services, as needed, to CgBWH and referrals for screening, navigation and linkage services for CgBW at risk for HIV via CCCs; (3) Provide services that are culturally and linguistically responsive for CgBW and address stigma and medical mistrust; and (4) Participate in a national learning collaborative to share best practices and lessons learned for comprehensive HIV and other services for CgBWH. Key outcomes of the project include an increased number of CgBWH who initiate rapid ART, are virally suppressed, and have met needs for services for mental health and substance use disorders and other essential support services.
