Minimize to Maximize. The Utah RWHAP Part B Program follows Franklin Covey’s 4 Disciplines of Execution to collaborate with a medical case management provider to minimize the number of goals to maximize success. A virtual scoreboard monitors measures and commitments within a structured cadence of self-accountability to improve outcomes.
Columbia University College of Dental Medicine has partnered with community partners to implement a dental care delivery system for PLWHA in NYC. A week-long Service Learning Rotation was integrated into the third-year dental student curriculum; data analysis from this pilot year will be used for program quality improvement and modification.
Description of a PrEP course's development, using online microlearning modules that can be completed in 10-15 minutes.
Significant challenges exist in vaccinating people with HIV for COVID-19. Our RWPC program set out to implement and evaluate a vaccine initiative for COVID-19 for people with HIV. We achieved vaccine rates of 78 percent being fully vaccinated by December 1, 2021 and 30 percent having a third dose.
This HIV clinic evaluated effectiveness of telemedicine for selected patients during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, and found overall viral suppression and retention in care rates were not adversely impacted by switch to telemedicine. They also noted similar rates of telemedicine utilization across demographic criteria.
Description of how a modified Directly Observed Therapy (mDOT) program increased uptake of DOPT and the priority populations that experienced the uptake.
The first long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LAI ART) formulation was FDA-approved January 2021. Drawing on the Consolidated Framework on Implementation Research, this mixed methods study assessed knowledge, attitudes, practices, and perceived barriers and facilitators related to implementation of LAI ART in NYC among HIV clinic staff and people with HIV.
In a single-center restrospective cohort study, patients with extensive treatment experience and history of virologic failure and multi-drug resistance underwent simplification of ARV salvage regimens with a median pill burden reduction of six pills per day. This strategy led to high rates of virologic suppression.
We analyzed variation in service use and associations between service use and viral suppression by race/ethnicity. Results can be used to identify areas for potential quality improvement.
By cross matching registries of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, this study found 27.1% of male syphilis cases were coinfected with HIV and 31.8% of those coinfected were not virally suppressed. This suggests ongoing sexual risk behaviors and the potential for HIV transmission among male syphilis cases.
