DISCUSSION:
The County of Humboldt has contracted with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) since the late 1980s to provide Ryan White - Part B HIV/AIDS services to Humboldt County via the North Coast AIDS Project (NorCAP). The HIV Care Program supports the activities of NorCAP, which resides in the Healthy Communities division of DHHS - Public Health. The primary goal of the program is to assist those living with HIV and to prevent the spread of HIV.
NorCAP’s activities include case management services, which include activities such as lending emotional and practical support for people living with HIV, providing information about HIV, linking clients to local services, and providing outreach to persons at high risk for contracting HIV.
This agreement will allow NorCAP to continue providing these services throughout Humboldt County to minimize new HIV infections, maximize the number of people with HIV accessing appropriate care, treatment, and support, and reduce health disparities related to HIV.
