HIV Positive Client Care Program

Provides confidential, one-to-one support for people living with HIV/AIDS, including:

• Connection to the Infectious Disease Clinic and Public Health
• Transportation and accompaniment to appointments, plus appointment reminders
• Meeting at choice of location to discuss health concerns
• Helping alleviate fears and providing education on what comes next
• Advocacy
• Hospital and home visits
• Referrals to other agencies/medical professionals as needed.

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