HIV Positive Client Care

HIV Positive Client Care Program

Just found out you have HIV? Here is how we can help:

• Connect you to the Infectious Disease Clinic and Public Health
• Transport and accompany you to appointments and give you appointment reminders
• Meet you at a location of your choosing to discuss your health concerns
• Alleviate your fears and educate you on what comes next
• Advocate for you
• Visit you in hospital and at home
• Refer you to other agencies or medical professionals if needed
• Complete confidentiality

The Client Care program works directly with people living with HIV/AIDS. It is built upon the understanding that capacity to manage and maintain health while living with HIV/AIDS is determined by factors such as income level, housing, access to care, and individual coping skills.

Our Client Care Coordinator works with individuals to determine personal needs and design supportive plans including practical needs (food, clothing), health services (transportation, education, medication, and nutrition), support (counseling, alternative treatments), help with housing, and referrals to other agencies.
