IMPROVING COMPREHENSIVE AIDS RESPONSE ENHANCED FOR SUSTAINABILITY (ICARES)

ACCELERATED COMPREHENSIVE AIDS RESPONSE FOR EPIDEMIC CONTROL AND SUSTAINABILITY (?CARES) - DESPITE THE SUCCESSES OF THE NIGERIAN ART SURGE PROGRAM IN INCREASING THE TREATMENT COVERAGE IN SURGE AND NON-SURGE STATES, DATA REVEALS THAT A CONSIDERABLE GAP IN TREATMENT COVERAGE STILL EXISTS IN SOME SUB-NATIONAL UNITS AND SUB-POPULATIONS SUCH AS; PAEDIATRICS, ADOLESCENTS, KEY POPULATION (KP), PREGNANT AND BREASTFEEDING WOMEN. THIS RFA SEEKS TO SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA (GON) TO ACHIEVE HIV EPIDEMIC CONTROL WITHIN AGE AND SEX BANDS, RETAIN IN CARE ALL PLHIV AND ENSURE VIRAL SUPPRESSION. OUR ACCELERATED COMPREHENSIVE AIDS RESPONSE FOR EPIDEMIC CONTROL AND SUSTAINABILITY (CARES) PROJECT WILL IMPLEMENT A HYBRID OF FACILITY AND COMMUNITY-BASED INTERVENTIONS AND LEVERAGE THE CURRENT ART SURGE PROGRAM TO ADDRESS THE REMAINING GAPS. THIS PROJECT WILL BUILD ON GAINS OF OUR SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM: IMPROVING COMPREHENSIVE AIDS RESPONSE ENHANCED FOR SUSTAINABILITY (ICARES), WHICH RAPIDLY SCALED UP HIV CASE IDENTIFICATION IN BENUE SURGE STATE FROM A WEEKLY MEDIAN OF 125 TO A CONSISTENTLY OVER 700 NEW CASES PER WEEK; WHILE ACCOUNTING FOR 30% (358,556) OF CDC NIGERIA TREATMENT CURRENT WITH 95% OF CLIENTS RETAINED AND 95% VIRALLY SUPPRESSED. TO IMPLEMENT A MIXED MODEL OF EFFICIENT HIV TESTING AND LINKAGE APPROACHES IN FACILITIES AND COMMUNITIES, APIN WILL USE DATA-DRIVEN EVIDENCE TO IDENTIFY HIV POSITIVES IN THE COMMUNITIES, IMPLEMENT SOCIAL NETWORK STRATEGY FOR KPS’, MAXIMIZE INDEX TESTING AND PROVIDER INITIATED TESTING AND COUNSELING AT FACILITIES, AS WELL AS EXPAND PMTCT CASE FINDING TO COMMUNITIES. FURTHERMORE, WE WILL IMPLEMENT TESTED, INNOVATIVE, AND CLIENT-CENTRIC INTERVENTIONS FOR OPTIMAL PLHIV TREATMENT CONTINUITY, ADVANCED HIV DISEASE MANAGEMENT, AND DURABLE VIRAL SUPPRESSION BY UTILIZING TEST AND START AND DIFFERENTIATED SERVICE DELIVERY MODELS. APIN WILL USE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND NEXT GENERATION ANALYTICS TO MITIGATE INTERRUPTION IN TREATMENT, OPTIMIZE ART REGIMEN, ENHANCE ADHERENCE FOR VIRAL SUPPRESSION, SCREEN, DIAGNOSE, AND MANAGE AHD; WHILE PROVIDING QUALITY SERVICES AND EMPOWERMENT FOR OVC WITH THEIR HOUSEHOLDS AND COMMUNITIES. SIMILARLY, TO PREVENT NEW HIV INFECTIONS THROUGH EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS AT FACILITY AND COMMUNITY LEVELS, WE WILL DEPLOY A COMBINATION OF PREVENTION STRATEGIES THAT INCLUDE BIOMEDICAL, BEHAVIOURAL AND STRUCTURAL, TARGETING DRIVERS OF THE EPIDEMIC. APIN WILL PROVIDE RELIABLE AND TIMELY LAB SERVICES TO DIAGNOSE, CONTROL, PREVENT, AND MONITOR HIV AND OTHER DISEASES BY SCALING UP ITS VIRAL LOAD AND EID TESTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND DEPLOYING THE LIMS-EMR-NDR DATA EXCHANGE TO REDUCE THE TURNAROUND TIME OF RESULTS. WE WILL OPTIMIZE TB AND OTHER OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTION DIAGNOSES AMONG PLHIV, CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING USING HPV AMONG WOMEN LIVING WITH HIV AND INTEGRATION OF NCDS WITH HIV. IN ADDITION, QI LEARNING NETWORKS ON CASE FINDING, RETENTION AND VIRAL SUPPRESSION, COMMUNITY SCORECARDS, SITUATION ROOM DASHBOARDS, AND QI COLLABORATIVE WILL BE DEPLOYED TO IMPLEMENT QI APPROACHES FOR TRACKING AND OPTIMIZED HEALTH OUTCOMES AT THE PATIENT, FACILITY, AND COMMUNITY LEVELS. FURTHERMORE, TO INCREASE GON’S LEADERSHIP, GOVERNANCE, AND INVESTMENT IN HIV PROGRAMS, TH E SUSTAINABILITY INDEX DASHBOARDS WILL BE USED AS AN ADVOCACY TOOL FOR IMPROVED GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP AND DOMESTIC FUNDING. THE CAPACITY OF GON AND CSOS STAFF WILL BE BUILT TO MONITOR AND DRIVE THE HIV PROGRAM AS WELL AS ENSURE ACCOUNTABILITY. CARES PROJECT WOULD BE IMPLEMENTED BY A TEAM OF LONG-STANDING COLLABORATORS LED BY APIN: THE FIRST INDIGENOUS AND LEADING PEPFAR TREATMENT PARTNERS IN NIGERIA, WITH GRANTEES FROM GOVERNMENT, UNIVERSITIES, FBOS, PRIVATE SECTOR AND CBOS, INCLUDING KP-LED.

WITH THE NEXT ITERATION OF THIS GRANT, CCHI AND ITS PARTNERS SEEK TO BUILD UPON OUR SUCCESS AND EXPAND OUR EFFORTS TO REACH EVEN MORE ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE TARGET POPULATIONS WHO REMAIN UNINSURED OR AT RISK OF LOSING COVERAGE OVER A FIVE-YEAR PERIOD. THIS FUNDING WILL SUPPORT DIRECT OUTREACH ACTIVITIES, STAFFING FOR DEDICATED ENROLLMENT SPECIALISTS, TRAINING PROGRAMS, AND THE NECESSARY TECHNOLOGICAL TOOLS TO MONITOR PROGRESS. THIS PROJECT NOT ONLY AIMS TO ENROLL NEW BENEFICIARIES BUT ALSO TO MAINTAIN CONTINUOUS COVERAGE BY ASSISTING FAMILIES THROUGH THE RENEWAL PROCESS. BY STRENGTHENING THE LINK BETWEEN EFFECTIVE OUTREACH AND RELIABLE ENROLLMENT SUPPORT, OUR PROJECT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A HEALTHIER COMMUNITY WITH FEWER UNINSURED CHILDREN AND IMPROVED OVERALL ACCESS TO CARE. CCHI, IN COLLABORATION WITH ITS 6 COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS (CBOS) THROUGHOUT THE STATE, SEEKS FUNDING FROM THE CMS TO FURTHER EXPAND OUTREACH, ENROLLMENT, RETENTION, AND UTILIZATION EFFORTS FOR MEDI-CAL (CALIFORNIA’S MEDICAID PROGRAM) AND THE CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM (CHIP) ACROSS CALIFORNIA. THIS INITIATIVE WILL CONTINUE TO PLACE AN EMPHASIS ON FAMILIES OF MIXED-IMMIGRATION STATUS, RURAL RESIDENTS, AND GROUPS WITH HIGH PERCENTAGES OF UNINSURED CHILDREN, INCLUDING LATINOS AND NATIVE AMERICANS, TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ELIGIBLE BUT UNENROLLED CHILDREN WHILE IMPROVING RETENTION RATES FOR THOSE ALREADY COVERED. IN THIS NEXT CYCLE OF THE GRANT, CCHI AND ITS PARTNERS WILL SUBMIT APPLICATIONS FOR 4,480 CHILDREN, ENROLL 4,032 CHILDREN INTO MEDI-CAL OR CHIP, AND RETAIN AN ADDITIONAL 1,760 CHILDREN IN COVERAGE. THROUGH DIRECT APPLICATION ASSISTANCE AND SPECIALIZED SUPPORT, WE WILL ALSO ENROLL 3,120 PARENTS AND 887 PREGNANT INDIVIDUALS WHILE ENSURING CONTINUED COVERAGE FOR 992 PARENTS THROUGH RENEWAL ASSISTANCE. CCHI’S PARTNERS WILL ENHANCE THEIR CURRENT SCHOOL-BASED OUTREACH EFFORTS, ENGAGE FAMILIES BEYOND OPEN ENROLLMENT PERIODS, AND AND EDUCATE FAMILIES ON HOW TO EFFECTIVELY USE THEIR HEALTHCARE BENEFITS TO MINIMIZE COVERAGE GAPS. BY LEVERAGING TRUSTED COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS AND PROVEN BEST PRACTICES, THIS PROJECT WILL EXPAND EQUITABLE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE, ENSURING THAT MORE CALIFORNIA FAMILIES RECEIVE AND MAINTAIN THE COVERAGE THEY NEED TO ACHIEVE BETTER HEALTH OUTCOMES.

HIFY WILL TRAIN YOUTH LEADERS FROM THESE COMMUNITIES SO THAT THEY HAVE KNOWLEDGE TO SHARE WITH THEIR PEER GROUPS ABOUT RISK AND PREVENTION, AND GAIN EXPERIENCE NAVIGATING LOCAL YOUTH CARE RESOURCES THAT THEY CAN PASS ON. IN SAN FRANCISCO, MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN (MSM) ARE STILL AT GREATEST RISK IN THE HIV EPIDEMIC, AND LATINO AND AFRICAN AMERICAN MSM ARE AT INCREASING AND DISPROPORTIONATE RISK. WITHIN OUR TARGET AGE RANGE, SOME YOUNG MEN ARE "OUT" AS GAY OR BISEXUAL AND SOME MAY BE EXPERIMENTING, UNSURE OF THEIR ORIENTATION, OR "ON THE DOWN LOW." HIFY THEREFORE PROPOSES TO ENGAGE: (1) LOW-INCOME YOUNG MEN OF COLOR—PARTICULARLY AFRICAN AMERICANS AND LATINOS; AND (2) OUT LGBTQ YOUTH OF COLOR, REGARDLESS OF GENDER, RECOGNIZING THAT YOUNG GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN AND TRANSGENDER YOUTH ARE AT DISPROPORTIONATE RISK FOR HIV AND ALL ARE AT DISPROPORTIONATE RISK FOR SUBSTANCE MISUSE. THE GOALS OF THE PROPOSED INTERVENTION ARE: - TO INCREASE KNOWLEDGE AMONG YOUTH LEADERS OF HIV AND SUBSTANCE USE RISKS GENERALLY, AND TO DEVELOP THEIR SPECIFIC AWARENESS OF PERSONAL RISK. - TO INCREASE YOUTH LEADERS' KNOWLEDGE OF RISK REDUCTION STRATEGIES, CONFIDENCE IN THEIR ABILITY TO IMPLEMENT THEM, AND WILLINGNESS TO EMPLOY THEM (IF SEXUALLY ACTIVE/SUBSTANCE USING). - TO INCREASE YOUTH LEADERS' ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES AND TESTING, AND LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR AWARENESS OF THEIR OWN SERO-STATUS. - TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY OF YOUTH-SERVING SUBSTANCE MISUSE SERVICE PROVIDERS AND OTHER YOUTH-SERVING HEALTH/SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS TO UNDERSTAND CONNECTIONS BETWEEN SEXUAL HEALTH RISK AND SUBSTANCE USE FOR YOUTH AND ADDRESS THESE WITH THE YOUTH THEY SERVE. - TO BUILD CAPACITY LOCALLY TO DELIVER AND AMPLIFY YOUTH-FOCUSED SOCIAL MEDIA MESSAGING THAT REINFORCES HIV AND SUBSTANCE MISUSE RISK AWARENESS AND/OR RISK REDUCTION EMPOWERMENT. RECOGNIZING THE DIVERSITY OF OUR TARGET POPULATION HIFY WILL USE ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES (EBPS) IN OUR WORKSHOP SERIES: BE PROUD! BE RESPONSIBLE!, BEING A RESPONSIBLE TEEN (BART), AND FOCUS ON YOUTH. HIFY WILL ALSO PROVIDE TRAINING TO YOUTH-SERVING PROVIDERS TO BUILD THEIR CAPACITY ON SUBSTANCE MISUSE AND HIV ISSUES. HIFY EXPECTS TO ENGAGE 275 YOUTH LEADERS (35 IN YEAR 1 AND 60 PER YEAR AFTER THAT) AND 180 PROVIDERS (20 IN YEAR 1 AND 40 PER YEAR AFTER THAT) OVER THE COURSE OF THE FIVE YEARS.
