Methods that involve persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) to help link other PLWHA into primary medical care and other needed services.
Document explains following four strategies and presents select implementation tools (e.g., training exercises):
- PLWHA provide input on improving systems of care.
- PLWHA help engage other PLWHA who are not in care into services (thus addressing unmet need).
- PLWHA serve as part-time or full-time community health workers, linking other PLWH into HIV-related primary medical care and other needed services.
- PLWHA participate as part of integrated clinical care teams.
