Enlaces Por La Salud

 

Enlaces Por La Salud was a 5-year HRSA funded statewide initiative to increase the number of Mexican men and Mexican transgender women living with HIV in North Carolina who are engaged in consistent medical care. Bilingual Personal Health Navigators (PHNs) worked one-on-one with clients over the course of 6 months to connect individuals to medical care and support services and provide education to increase one’s knowledge of HIV and the medical system and promote health self-management. Topics covered in sessions included: HIV diagnosis concerns, preparing for appointments, communicating with medical providers, social support, relationships and community, disclosure, healthy living, and transitioning to long-term case management.
