Eleven HRSA SPNS demonstration sites were funded to develop interventions/programs increasing access to and retention in care for HIV-positive Women of Color in various settings. Three sites have adapted various CDC intervention models to aid linkage to care, secondary risk reduction, and/or skill-building. Project WE CARE (Chicago, IL) has adapted the Healthy Relationships model and modified components such as film clips, facilitators, series schedule, incentives, and resource packets. The LIFT Program’s (Bridgeton, NJ) intervention, “Yo Me Cuido” (I Take Care of Myself), is an adaptation of the SISTA model. They created two versions of the curriculum, one for Latinas and one for African Americans. And Health Services Center (Hobson City, AL) has adapted the Antiretroviral Treatment and Access to Services (ARTAS) model’s manual and select sessions to suit their population.
