Hitting the Streets to Promote Treatment

For the past year, the Hispanic Health Council has worked in partnership with CHS to re-connect HIV-positive community members with the treatment they need. To do this, a part-time outreach worker patrols Hartford’s streets often in the pre-dawn hours, searching for people who are HIV positive, but have dropped out of treatment. Referrals are made to CHS where treatment can resume.
