Description:
Primary Care HIV Prevention (PCHP) funding is available for up to 150 health centers on a competitive basis. PCHP funding will expand HIV prevention services that decrease the risk of HIV transmission in underserved communities in support of Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S.
Applicants must propose to use PCHP funds to achieve three objectives:
- Increase the number of patients counseled and tested for HIV.
- Increase the number of patients prescribed pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
- Increase the number of patients linked to HIV care and treatment within 30 days of diagnosis.
Applicants will advance progress on the objectives by implementing activities within four focus areas:
- PrEP prescribing;
- Outreach;
- Testing; and
- Workforce development.
You are encouraged to leverage PCHP funding to address:
- Equitable access to HIV prevention services;
- Other current and anticipated HIV prevention needs in the service area; and
- Population and social determinants of health that may affect access to care, contribute to poor health outcomes, and exacerbate health disparities.
Eligible applicants:
Town, City or County Government. Organizations eligible for PCHP funding:
- Are Health Center Program operational (H80) grant award recipients
- Have at least one operational service delivery site at a fixed address
- Did not receive an FY 2020 or FY 2021 PCHP award
