Organization Sustainability Models

Session Summary:

The alignment of U=U, Treatment as Prevention, rapid HIV testing, and access to PrEP can serve as a paradigm shift for organizations that have previously focused energy on HIV diagnosis and treatment alone. We can transform ourselves from HIV treaters to HIV preventers by engaging and empowering priority populations under a broader umbrella of care. This session will discuss how we can open the umbrella to include primary and specialty care for people with substance use disorders, seeking hormone therapy for gender affirmation, seeking STI testing and/or PrEP. This paradigm allows for synergies between programs and augments funding streams.

Session Learning Objectives:

          • Develop an understanding of the shift that happens when moving from HIV treatment to HIV prevention.
          • Evaluate the opportunities to diversify funding streams to create sustainable program services that can empower marginalized communities.
          • Recognize the accounting nuances that come with diverse funding streams.
