Health Services: HIV/AIDS Testing

 HIV/AIDS OUTREACH EDUCATION: 

CHS conducts one-to-one and group education sessions in the Little Haiti/Little River and North 
Miami areas.  Sessions consist of providing vital information about HIV prevention as well as care and treatment for infected and affected individuals.  Sessions are conducted in public places including laundromats, churches, and schools, as well as in private homes.  

Under funding from the Miami-Dade County Ryan White Act Title I, CHS also conducts outreach activities that are designed to identify HIV/AIDS patients who are lost to medical care and re-engage them in treatment.

CHS conducts HIV Antibody testing as well as pre and post test counselling using ORASURE on a walk-in basis and by appointment with a certified counselor. This program is sponsored by CHS, independently of any type of funding as a service to the community. Tests are confidential to the extent allowed by law.
