This experience sharing program will provide an opportunity to learn more about the integration of routine HIV screening and referral to prevention or treatment in a primary care setting. Participants from local and statewide organizations will be available to network and share their experiences in implementation of routine HIV testing.
These key strategies are part of the effort to reach the AIDS Free Pittsburgh goals of zero new AIDS cases and a 75% reduction in the rate of new HIV cases by 2020.
