AFTER YOU'VE
DAY ONE:
TESTED POSITIVE
FOR
HIV
Adapted from original prepared for the ACE directory by Al McKittrick
A positive HIV antibody test can ruin your whole day or your whole week. It could be the hardest news
that you’ve ever had to deal with. But don’t despair! It’s scary, but it is not a death sentence. Today,
many of us with HIV are alive and well many years after becoming HIV positive. There is still not a
cure, but with all we’ve learned over the course of the epidemic, and with the development of new
drugs, HIV is becoming a chronic manageable disease. But the real work is up to you. Getting
informed and taking charge of your health will help you make the best of your situation and the ACE
directory you are holding in your hands can be very helpful in accomplishing that goal. You may feel
very alone right now but you are not. There are over 11,000 people in the State of Colorado living
with HIV and a lot of agencies to assist us in managing this disease. Welcome to our community.
Before you get started, here are just a few basic things to remember.
#1. You need to have a doctor who is a specialist in HIV. Studies have shown that your chance of survival is
much better if you have a doctor who treats people living with HIV on a daily basis. HIV treatment is
constantly changing and a provider without a lot of HIV care experience or many HIV patients may not
have time to keep up on the latest developments, so find a specialist. You’ll find them in the Medical
Services Referral List (page 13). Have your regular doctor refer you to a specialist for your HIV care
needs.
#2. Be patient with yourself. Start thinking about getting healthier. Reducing or stopping your use of
alcohol, nicotine and recreational drugs will help you stay healthier longer. So will eating nutritiously
and adding vitamins and exercise to your daily life. Don't beat yourself up about being HIV+; it will
only keep you from getting on with what you need to do to survive. A few days of feeling sorry for
yourself is OK but a couple years of denial is not. You can seek out help in the Counseling Services
Referral List (page 29). If you need help quitting or limiting alcohol or drug use, you’ll find support
groups and assistance in that same list. Seek out hugs and support from friends and family. Be careful
who you discuss your status with. It should be on a need to know basis (doctors, nurses, sexual partners, AIDS service organizations). Be aware that discrimination against someone who is HIV+ is forbidden by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
#3. Don’t put yourself or others at risk. When you are HIV+, you can be re-infected again and again if
you have a partner who’s positive or if you share needles with someone who is also HIV+. This can just
make treatment more difficult and lessen your chances of survival. You of course do not want to give
HIV to someone who is not positive, so safer sex needs to become your mode of conduct. Mothers who
are HIV+ should not breast feed their children. There are many organizations listed in this book that can
give you information on safer sex and how to keep from infecting anyone else.
#4. Don’t worry about money. You have enough to worry about when you are first diagnosed with HIV.
You don’t need to add to your stress by worrying about how you’ll pay for drug treatment or doctor’s
appointments. Whether or not you have insurance or a job, you can get quality HIV care in the State
of Colorado. Assistance with housing, food and other necessities is also available. A case manager
can help you with many of these concerns and can connect you with the programs you need. You’ll be
able to find a case management agency in your area, and information about what services they offer
through this directory. They include Colorado AIDS Project, Boulder County AIDS Project, Western
Colorado AIDS Project, Southern Colorado AIDS Project, Northern Colorado AIDS Project, Servicios de
la Raza, and Empowerment.

#5. Your best weapons in the fight against HIV are attitude and knowledge. If anyone tells you they have a
cure for HIV, don’t believe them; there isn’t one. If anyone tells you that HIV doesn’t cause AIDS, or that
the HIV test is a fraud and you have nothing to worry about, don’t believe them either. Be wary of outdated information. Changes in treatment of HIV can develop rapidly so get current information from
reputable web sites and publications that you can find listed in this directory. Learn as much as you
can about HIV but do it at your own pace. Ask questions of your doctors and care providers; remember they work for you. You tested positive. Your test result is a piece of knowledge and knowing about
the disease is a powerful weapon. Now that you know, you can do something about it.
HIV AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. A virus is an organism that has to be inside some other
cell in order to multiply. In the case of HIV, the virus attacks white blood cells in your immune system,
specifically your CD4 T-cell. This is not good news for your immune system because it is the CD4 T-cell
that would normally lead the attack against HIV. And it does. From the time you are infected, the body
is very busy making millions of CD4 cells to combat the millions of new cells that the virus is making.
This battle goes on for years until slowly the virus overwhelms the immune system and the body loses its
ability to fight off a variety of illnesses, called opportunistic infections.
This gradual destruction of the immune system doesn’t happen the same way in everyone, or at the
same pace. In a small percentage of people, infection with HIV leads to destruction of the immune system very rapidly, in just a few years. But on average, even without drug treatment, most people remain
well for 7 - 10 years before experiencing the first serious symptoms. That’s why it’s a good thing that
you know now that you are positive, because you can slow or prevent the destruction of your immune
system with medications and therapies.
MONITORING YOUR HEALTH
There are two kinds of tests that can measure the degree to which your HIV progresses.
1. A T-cell count or CD4+ count lets you know how many T-cells you have. A normal count for people not
infected with HIV is usually 800-1200. An HIV+ person who has progressed to AIDS will have a count
below 200. If your count is below 200, your doctor should recommend that you take certain “prophylactic” drugs (usually antibiotics) to prevent you from getting some of the more serious illnesses and infections that people with suppressed immune systems are at risk for.
2. A viral load test shows how much virus is floating around in your blood. Results can range from undetectable (under 20 copies of the virus, is a good result), on up to a count in the millions (not good
news).
You want to get a high T-cell count and a low viral load, but there are treatment options for all combinations of T-cell counts and viral loads. Doctors and patient advocates recommend you get both tests
every three months.

TREATMENT OPTIONS
Regardless of when you were infected with HIV, you should visit a doctor right away so your health status can be monitored on an ongoing basis. At some point, you will want to decide with your physician
when would be a good time to initiate drug therapy. By the end of the year there will be 24 different
HIV medications in six different classes, which means they work in six different ways to attack the virus.
Some of the drugs are combined together in one pill. When you start drug therapy, you should be using
more than one of these drugs at the same time. Optimally you want your drug therapy to suppress the
virus to “undetectable”, so that your immune system has a chance to raise your T-cell count back
towards normal levels. It is important to know that even with an “undetectable” viral load the virus is not
completely gone and can still be passed on through known risk modes.
Any drug has side effects and HIV drugs are no different. After starting a drug regimen you will want to
visit your doctor on a regular basis to help monitor your progress and watch for possible drug toxicities.
It is also important to be aware of interactions that your HIV drugs may have with other medications, so
be sure to tell your doctor about all other medications and supplements you are using. The whole objective is for you to stay as healthy as possible so that you can be here to enjoy life and take advantage of
all the advances in treatment that keep coming. Stay well!

CUANDO
EL PRIMER DÍA:
TU PRUEBA RESULTA VIH POSITIVO
Adaptado del original para el directorio de ACE por Al McKittrick.
Un resultado positivo de la prueba del VIH puede arruinarte el día o la vida entera. Puede ser la noticia más desvastadora que tengas que enfrentar en toda tu vida. ¡Pero no te desesperes!… Es alarmante pero no tiene que ser tu sentencia de muerte. Actualmente hay personas que han estado viviendo con el virus por muchos años y todavía gozan de buena salud. Aún no se ha encontrado una cura,
pero es mucho lo que hemos aprendido desde el comienzo de la epidemia. Hoy en día, con el desarrollo de nuevos tratamientos, VIH se ha convertido en una enfermedad crónica tratable. Puedes hacer
mucho para ayudarte a tí mismo. Informate acerca del VIH y toma el mando en el control de tu salud.
En Colorado, hay más de 11.000 personas viviendo con el VIH y un gran número de organizaciones
que te pueden ayudar. No estas solo. Este directorio (ACE directory) puede ser de gran ayuda para
tí. Antes de que comiences a leer esta guía, queremos compartir algunos consejos básicos que debes
tener siempre presente:
#1. Necesitas tener un doctor que sea especialista en el VIH. Los estudios han demostrado que la probabilidad de supervivencia es mucho mejor si usted tiene un doctor que es especialista del VIH. Los avances
en el tratamiento del VIH cambian constantemente y un doctor de cuidados generales posiblemente no
este actualizado en los ùltimos avances sobre el VIH, así que consulta con un especialista del VIH.
Usted puede encontrar especialistas en la lista de referencias de servicios médicos (pàg.,#13). Solicita
a tu doctor general que te remita a un especialista del VIH para tus necesidades del cuidado del VIH.
#2. Tienes que aprender a ser paciente contigo mismo. Comienza a pensar en lo que puedes hacer para
mantenerte sano. Evita el uso de cigarrillos y drogas ilegales, reduce el consumo de alcohol. Debes
mantener una dieta balanceada y rica en vitaminas. Práctica ejercicios regularmente si estás en condición de hacerlo. No te desesperes por ser VIH positivo, esto no te ayudará a mantenerte saludable.
Es completamente normal que te sientas deprimido algunos días, pero no tiene sentido negarte a aceptar la realidad por mucho tiempo. Sí necesitas ayuda psicológica y soporte emocional consulta nuestra
Lista de Referencia de Servicios de Consejería (Counseling Services Referral List, pág., 29). Sí estás
pensando en reducir el uso de alcohol o drogras ilegales puedes encontrar asistencia y grupos de
soporte en la misma lista. También busca soporte emocional en tus amigos y familia. Ten cuidado con
quien discutes tu estado medico (accent on the e). Deberias discutir tu estado solo con personas que
necesitan saberlo (doctores,enfermeras, tu pareja sexual, y proveedores de servicios sociales para personas con VIH/SIDA). Estes consciente que la discriminacion (accent on the o) es prohibido por la ley
Americans with Disabilities Act.
#3. Protéjete a tí mismo y a los demás. Sí eres VIH positivo y tienes relaciones sexuales con otra persona
que es positiva o compartes agujas para la injección de drogas ilegales, estás corriendo el riesgo de
ser infectado otra vez. Esto puede comprometer tu salud, posiblemente el tratamiento no tendrá efecto
y tus posibilidades de sobrevivencia serán reducidas. Por supuesto, tú tampoco quieres infectar a una
persona que no es VIH positiva. Lo mejor que puedes hacer es practicar sexo seguro como norma de
conducta sexual. Las madres que son VIH positivas no deben amamantar a su niños con leche materna. En este libro puedes encontrar los nombres de muchas organizaciones que te pueden ofrecer información sobre sexo seguro y sobre que hacer para no infectar a otros.

#4. No te preocupes del dinero. Para una persona que ha sido diagnosticada VIH positiva lo más preocupante es el precio de las medicinas y servicios médicos. Sí tu situación financiera no es capaz, no te
desesperes. En Colorado puedes recibir atención médica de calidad y tratamientos para el VIH, independientemente de si estas trabajando o no, o si tienes seguro médico o no. También hay diferentes
tipos de ayuda para alimentos, vivienda y otras necesidades. Un Consejero especializado en VIH
puede ayudarte en este momento. El Consejero(a) puede referirte o ponerte en contacto con los diferentes servicios y programas de ayuda disponibles. En este directorio puedes encontrar el nombre de
las organizaciones que ofrecen servicios de consejería especializada en VIH cerca del área donde
vives vives. Algunas de estas organizaciones son: Colorado AIDS Project, Boulder County AIDS
Project, Western Colorado AIDS Project, Southern Colorado AIDS Project, Northern Colorado AIDS
Project, Servicios de la Raza y Empowerment.
#5. Las mejores herramientas en la lucha contra el VIH son aumentar tu conocimiento, estar bien informado y
asumir una actitud positiva. No creas en personas que dicen que tienen una cura para el VIH, todavía
no se ha encontrado ninguna. Actualiza constantemente tus conocimientos acerca de los tratamientos
para el VIH porque estos tratamientos cambian rápidamente. Pregunta a tus doctores y proveedores
de servicios médicos. Puedes encontrar información en la red internet (web sites), en cualquiera de las
publicaciones presentes en este directorio y también recuerda, sí eres VIH positivo, es tu trabajo aprender todo lo que puedas a cerca de la infección y tratamientos del VIH. Hazlo en tu propio ritmo.
¡Comienza ahora mismo!
VIH Y EL SISTEMA INMUNOLOGICO
VIH son las siglas que representan al Virus de la Inmunodeficiencia Humana. Un virus es un microorganismo que necesita vivir en el interior de una célula para reproducirse. En el caso del VIH, el virus
ataca y destruye las células sanguíneas blancas presentes en tu sistema inmunológico, especialmente
aquellas conocidas como CD4 o células T ayudantes. Esta no es una buena noticia para tu sistema
inmunológico porque justamente las células CD4 son las encargadas de atacar el VIH y combatir infecciones. Desde el momento en que has sido infectado con el VIH, tu cuerpo comienza a producir millones de células CD4 para combatir a los millones de nuevas copias del virus. Esta batalla se
mantiene por varios años hasta el momento en que el sistema inmunológico comienza a debilitarse y tu
cuerpo pierde la habilidad de luchar contra ciertas enfermedades llamadas infecciones oportunistas.
La destrucción gradual del sistema inmunológico no ocurre de la misma manera o a1 mismo ritmo en
todas las personas infectadas con el VIH. Para ciertas personas, la infección del VIH destruye el sistema
inmunológico muy rápidamentey en pocos años. Normalmente, la mayoria de personas infectadas,
aun sin ningún tratamiento con medicamentos, mantienen su salud alrededor de 7 a 10 años antes de
comenzar a experimentar los primeros síntomas graves de la infección. Por eso es bueno saber pronto
si ha sido infectado con el VIH, porque de esta forma puedes reducir o evitar la destrucción de tu sistema inmunológico con medicamentos y terapias antes de que sea tarde.
MANTENIENDO EL CONTRO DE TU SALUD
Actualmente existen dos tipos de pruebas para determinar los cambios que pueden afectar tu salud:
1. El Recuento de las Células CD4 es una prueba en que el laboratorio mide el número de las células CD4
en una muestra de sangre. La cuenta normal para una persona que no esta infectada con el VIH varía
entre 800 y 1200 células CD4. Las personas viviendo con SIDA tienen un recuento de células CD4
menos de 200. Sí tu recuento de células CD4 es menos de 200, es recomendable que tu doctor te

2. La prueba de la Carga Viral mide la cantidad de virus en la sangre. Los resultados pueden variar desde
valores indetectables (menos de 20 copias del virus, que es un buen resultado) hasta millones de
copias (que no es un resultado óptimo).
Los valores óptimos son tener un mayor número de células CD4 y un bajo nivel de la carga viral, de
cualquier forma puedes encontrar diferentes opciones de tratamientos de acuerdo a tu recuento de células y carga viral. Se recomienda hacerse estas pruebas cada tres o cuatro meses.
OPCIONES PARA EL TRATAMIENTO
Sí tú sabes que has sido infectado recientemente (en las últimas semanas o meses) deberías considerar
en comenzar los medicamentos inmediatamente. Estudios recientes han demostrado que las personas
que han comenzado un tratamiento en las etapas tempranas de la infección del VIH, han podido
reducir la rápida destrucción del sistema inmunológico a causa del VIH. Sí has estado infectado con el
virus por un largo período de tiempo es recomendable que discutas con tu doctor cuando seria el
mejor momento para iniciar el tratamiento. Actualmente tenemos 24 diferentes tipos de medicamentos
en cinco diferentes clases que atacan al virus. Cuando comiences el tratamiento, debes usar por lo
menos tres de estos medicamentos al mismo tiempo. Claramente lo que tú quieres alcanzar con el
tratamiento es reducir la cantidad de virus en tu sangre para realizar un nivel indetectable, y de esta
forma ayudar al sistema inmunologicó en aumentar la cuenta de células CD4 a niveles normales.
Algunos medicamentos tienen efectos secundarios y los medicamentos para tratar el VIH no son diferentes. Después de comenzar tus medicamentos debes visitar a tu doctor regularmente para ver tu progreso y observar cualquier efecto tóxico de los medicamentos. El principal objetivo es estar lo mas
saludable posible, para poder gozar de tu vida, y tomar ventaja en los avances de los tratamientos.

PREVENTION
WHAT
FOR
POSITIVES
THE SERVICES ARE
The goal of this program, as implemented by the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE) and its sub-contractors, is to support an integrated system of Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) intervention services for men and women living with HIV who reside in
urban settings (including the counties of Denver, Jefferson, Adams, Arapahoe, and Larimer), especially
those disproportionately affected by HIV. The objective is to implement an integrated system of interventions that change risk behavior and is accessible and acceptable to people living with HIV.
Prioritized services for people living with HIV include some of the following: linking the client to client
advocacy and care case management, providing basic HIV and transmission information, helping the
client address the immediate and emergency needs in their life that impact their health and disease
transmission, ongoing screening for sexually transmitted infections, assessment of medical eligibility and
referrals to care, viral load and CD4 testing, assistance with partner notification and disclosure, mental
health and substance abuse screening with appropriate referrals, and support for adherence to HIV
care and treatment regimens.
Local agencies contracted by CDPHE for this service in 2008 (as of December 2007):
·
Children’s Hospital Immunodeficiency Program (CHIP)
·
Denver Public Health Department
·
The Empowerment Program
·
It Takes a Village
·
Northern Colorado AIDS Project

COMPREHENSIVE RISK COUNSELING
AND
SERVICES
Comprehensive Risk Counseling and Services (CRCS) is a client-centered HIV prevention activity for
increasing behaviors that reduce risk of transmitting or acquiring HIV by clients with multiple or complex
problems such as mental health or substance abuse issues. The goal of CRCS is to promote the adoption
and maintenance of HIV risk-reduction behaviors and to improve skills in accessing community resources
that support behavior change for clients who have multiple, complex risk-reduction needs. CRCS is a
one-to-one, multi-session, intensive intervention that is intended for clients who would otherwise have a
poor prognosis for changing behaviors. CRCS is voluntary and confidential, is flexible as to time and
setting based on client needs, and may be delivered to a person living with HIV or at highest risk of
becoming infected. CRCS is delivered in conjunction with Ryan White CARE Act case management services to the extent that these services are available. CRCS must compliment, coordinate with and fill the
gaps in the services provided by Ryan White, chief of which is risk reduction counseling.
Please contact Rebecca Jordan of the CDPHE, Client Based Prevention, for further information about this
program or to enquire about access to CRCS services, (303) 692-2969.

COLORADO COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS
The Colorado Community Health Network (CCHN) is an association of community and migrant health programs located in medically
underserved areas in Colorado and Wyoming. Member organizations provide primary health care services, including services to people
with HIV and AIDS, to the medically indigent and underserved. Facilities range from an isolated, single provider site, located 30 miles
from a hospital, to the large neighborhood health centers in the Denver Health System. Anyone can access services at these clinics.
The cost of services is based on a sliding scale and most clinics simply require patients to complete an encounter form upon entering
the clinic that asks for both basic personal and financial information. The following clinics will provide medical services directly to people with HIV and AIDS. Under most circumstances, the clinics will not refer patients elsewhere to be served but may refer for specialty
care. Visit the Colorado Community Health Network website at www.cchn.org/health_centers/ for current and additional information.

SUBSTANCE USE
AND
HIV
AND
HCV
Individuals who inject, inhale or swallow recreational drugs or who take non-prescribed prescription drugs
should be aware of their risk for contracting diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis C (HCV) that are transmitted
through blood. Additionally, individuals who use recreational drugs or substances should be aware that ingesting those substances may result in behaviors that put people at risk for HIV and HCV such as: sharing needles,
sharing other drug use paraphernalia (cooker, cotton, water), injecting with unclean or used needles, having
sex without protection, and exchanging sex for money or drugs.
Once infected with HIV, other issues are important for a substance user to consider. For example, substance
use may make it difficult to adhere to a rigorous schedule of HIV medications and/or may cause drug interactions between HIV medications and other drugs. Co-infection of HIV and HCV may cause medical problems
that require additional care and treatment. The following agencies specialize in assisting substance users with
these issues (see full information in Directory):

CO-INFECTION WITH HIV AND HEPATITIS C
INFORMATION AND RESOURCES
Hepatitis C
People who are HIV infected should be tested for hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Hepatitis C (HCV) is
spread when infected blood from one person enters the body of another. Sharing needles and drug
paraphernalia while injecting drugs is the most common risk factor. People who received a blood transfusion or organ transplant prior to 1992, blood-clotting products prior to 1987 or long-term hemodialysis may also be at risk. Healthcare workers exposed to accidental needle sticks and children born to
hepatitis C positive mothers can also become infected. Sexual transmission of hepatitis C does occur,
but it is not easily spread in this manner. The risk of sexual transmission increases with multiple sex partners and other sexually transmitted diseases. The risk of sexual transmission is also higher in the MSM
population than in heterosexuals. Unlike HIV, HCV may not be passed from infected mother to infant
through breastfeeding.
What are the symptoms of hepatitis C?
Many persons with hepatitis C have no symptoms at all for decades, but some will notice mild to severe
symptoms such as: “flu-like” symptoms, abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting,
fatigue, weight loss, and sometimes yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice).
Why should I be tested for hepatitis C?
Early diagnosis is important to check for liver damage and provide treatment if indicated. Treatment is
most effective before severe liver damage has occurred. You can also learn how to protect your liver
from further harm and how to prevent the spread of HCV to other people. If you think you may have
been exposed to the virus or have signs or symptoms of liver disease such as an abnormal liver enzyme
test, you should talk to your doctor about getting tested.
How can I protect myself from getting hepatitis C?
Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after blood exposure. Wash blood-contaminated
surfaces with soap and water and then disinfect with a bleach and water solution (1 part bleach to 10
parts water). Healthcare professionals should always follow routine barrier precautions and should
safely handle needles and other sharps. Injection drug users should make sure that needles, syringes
and works are sterile and never shared. Never draw drugs out of a supply that has been mixed in a
shared and possibly contaminated container. Never share a straw or bill when snorting drugs. When
getting a tattoo or body piercing, make sure the artist uses sterile needles, tools and ink and follows
good health practices. Practice safer sex by using latex condoms every time. Do not share personal
items that may have your blood on them such as razors, nail files and toothbrushes.
Why should HIV-infected persons be concerned about coinfection with HCV?
About one third of HIV-infected persons in the United States are also infected with hepatitis C virus
(HCV). HCV is one of the most important causes of chronic liver disease in the United States and HCV
infection progresses more rapidly to liver damage in HIV-infected persons. HCV infection may also
impact the course and management of HIV infection.
The U.S. Public Health Service/Infectious Diseases Society of America (USPHS/IDSA) guidelines recommend that all HIV-infected persons be screened for HCV infection. Prevention of HCV infection for those
not already infected, and reducing chronic liver disease in those who are infected are important concerns for HIV-infected individuals and their health care providers.
HCV infection is viewed as an opportunistic infection in HIV-infected persons and was included in the
1999 USPHS/IDSA Guidelines for the Prevention of Opportunistic Infections in Persons Infected with
Human Immunodeficiency Virus. It is not, however, considered an AIDS-defining illness. As highly active
antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and prophylaxis of opportunistic infections increase the life span of persons living with HIV, HCV-related liver disease has become a leading cause of hospital admissions and
deaths among HIV-infected persons.
25
How can coinfection with HCV be prevented?
Persons living with HIV who are not already coinfected with HCV can adopt measures to prevent acquiring HCV. Such measures will also reduce the chance of transmitting their HIV infection to others.
Not starting, or stopping injection drug use eliminates the chief route of HCV transmission; substanceabuse treatment and relapse-prevention programs should be recommended. If patients continue to inject,
they should be counseled about safer injection practices; that is, to use new, sterile syringes every time
they inject drugs and never reuse or share syringes, needles, water, or drug preparation equipment.
How can HIV and HCV coinfected patients prevent further liver damage?
Individuals with evidence of HCV infection should be given information about prevention of liver damage, undergo evaluation for chronic liver disease and, if indicated, be considered for treatment. Persons
coinfected with HIV and HCV should be advised not to drink alcohol. When appropriate, referral
should be made to alcohol treatment and relapse prevention programs. Because of possible effects on
the liver, HCV-infected patients should consult with their health care professional before taking any new
medicines, including over-the-counter, alternative or herbal medicines.
When indicated, coinfected patients should receive hepatitis A and B vaccines. The vaccines appear
safe for these patients and more than two-thirds of those vaccinated develop antibody responses.
Coinfected persons may be at increased risk for HAART-associated liver toxicity and should be closely
monitored during antiretroviral therapy.

COUNTY SOCIAL SERVICES REFERRAL LIST
Persons with HIV or at-risk for infection may have a number of immediate needs. Many people ask "Where can I look for assistance?"
or simply "Where do I start?" For persons with limited incomes, the local County Social Services Department may be a good place to
begin. At the Department of Social Services people can find out whether they are eligible for assistance programs including Medicaid,
Medicare, disability assistance, home care allowance, home community based services for PLWA, and food stamps. Each Department of
Social Services also has programs for employment assistance, emergency assistance and, in some cases, assistance for persons facing
eviction. There is no charge for services and home visits may be offered in some areas. Most social services programs have translators
available.

Special Projects of National Significance: Supports the development of innovative HIV/AIDS service delivery models that have
the potential for replication in other areas.
Minority HIV/AIDS Initiative (MHAI): Was created in 1999 to provide funding and services for African American communities as
a result of an emergency declared by the Congressional Black Caucus for the alarming rates of HIV/AIDS in this community. In 2000,
support for the program was given by the Congressional Hispanic and Asian American Caucuses to include all communities of color.
MHAI Goals are to expand the infrastructure of community-based organizations and HIV service delivery to people of color living with
HIV/AIDS, expand services in historically underserved minority communities and ensure sustainability in an effort to reduce persistent
health disparities. Each Title/Part of the Ryan White Program has a MHAI component.
Ryan White Program funded services are for uninsured/underinsured individuals. Funds are “the payor of last resort” for services for
which an individual has no other means, such as Medicaid or private or employer provided insurance, to pay for their services.

CLINICAL RESEARCH
ON
Ken Eielson
AIDS
The Community Programs for Clinical Research on AIDS (CPCRA) is a community-based AIDS research program based at Denver Public Health. The Denver CPCRA is part of the larger INSIGHT network.
INSIGHT (International Network for Strategic Initiatives in Global HIV Trials) is one of six HIV/AIDS clinical
trials networks funded in 2006 by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a component of
the National Institutes of Health. Currently, INSIGHT is conducting studies in 36 countries worldwide. The
mission is to develop strategies for the optimization of treatment (antiretroviral and immunomodulatory therapies as well as interventions to prevent and treat complications of HIV and antiretroviral therapies) to prolong
disease-free survival in a demographically, geographically, and socioeconomically diverse population of individuals infected with HIV.
The site structure allows patients to participate in research while continuing to receive care by their primary
care provider. After initial referral, the CPCRA/INSIGHT clinician works collaboratively with the primary care
provider along with other specialists. Participants must be under the care of an affiliated physician or clinic
involved with the CPCRA/INSIGHT. Studies include therapies that treat the AIDS virus as well as therapies
that prevent or treat opportunistic infections.

PAN AFRICAN ARTS SOCIETY
The Pan African Arts Society (PAAS) is a non-profit 501c3 organization that organizes and executes a myriad
of arts education, social change venues throughout the year and within the Denver metro-area. The PAAS also
collaborates with individuals, organizations and corporate entities in the community-at-large in order to
increase dialogue and action in diverse settings through the use of cultural icons including film, performance,
creative writing and oration. Black arts programming such as the Denver Pan African Film Festival, the
monthly poetry and arts venue, “Café Nuba,” and the BLAM Youth Project offer provocative HIV/AIDS education, counseling and testing as a part of their community interaction. It is our hope that these seeds will be
nurtured and yield increased possibilities for public engagement, professional, spiritual, and personal development, and preservation and perpetuation of cultural heritage.
