Identify all persons with HIV who remain undiagnosed and link them to health care. 2. Link and retain those with HIV in health care, to treat them with anti-HIV therapy to maximize virus suppression so they remain healthy and prevent further transmission. 3. Provide Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for persons who engage in high-risk behaviors to keep them HIV negative Reduce the number of new HIV infections to just 750 [from an estimated 3,000] by 2020 AGGRESSIVE ACTION 47 Establishment of the Ending the Epidemic Task Force ----------------October 14, 2014 Governor Cuomo announced the appointment of an Ending the Epidemic Task Force made up of key stakeholders representing public and private industry and community leaders expert in the field of HIV/AIDS. The Task Force is responsible for developing and issuing a Blueprint for New York State to achieve the Governor’s three stated goals. Members met on five occasions between October 2014 and January 2015. Each Committee reviewed recommendations as they were received from the public. Task Force meetings provided an opportunity for Committees to review, prioritize and discuss the recommendations. Committees were charged with providing key recommendations that build on New York State's existing HIV prevention, care and supportive service efforts. 48 Blueprint Structure and Content On January 13, 2015 the NYS Ending the Epidemic (ETE) Task Force completed its charge and finalized 44 committee recommendations that address HIV related prevention, care and supportive services. Committee Recommendations were informed by 294 community recommendations and 17 statewide stakeholder meetings. The final Blueprint will contain 30 Blue Print Recommendations and 7 Getting to Zero Recommendations. 49 Key Populations The Task Force ensured that prioritizing the needs of key populations significantly impacted by HIV and AIDS became a central component of the final ETE Blueprint document. 50 Public Release of the Blueprint April 29, 2015 We must add AIDS to the list of diseases conquered by our society, and today we are saying we can, we must and we will end this epidemic. ~Governor Cuomo 51 Blueprint Alignment with NHAS 2020 https://aids.gov/federal-resources/nationalhiv-aids-strategy/nhas-update.pdf “Several jurisdictions have, through focused efforts, seen decreasing trends in HIV, including the States of New York and Massachusetts and the cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles. In addition, some States and local areas have put forth their own plans to “end AIDS,” such as New York State, Washington State, and San Francisco.” – NHAS 2020 Pg. 17 52 53 Blueprint Recommendations (BPs) Link and retain persons diagnosed with HIV in care to maximize virus suppression so they remain healthy and prevent further transmission. BP5: Continuously act to monitor and improve rates of viral suppression BP6: Incentivize Performance BP7: Use client-level data to identify & assist patients lost to care or not virally suppressed BP8: Enhance & streamline services to support the non-medical needs of persons with HIV. BP9: Provide enhanced services for patients within correctional and other institutions. BP10: Maximize opportunities through DSRIP process to support programs. BP29: Expand & enhance the use of data to track and report progress 54 New and Expanded Programs NY Links, a Special Project of National Significance (SPNS), is designed to bridge systemic gaps between HIV related services within New York State in order to achieve better outcomes for people living with HIV. It improves systems for linking to and retention in care, as well as for monitoring, recording, and accessing information about HIV. The Linkage, Retention and Treatment Adherence Initiative is a comprehensive care model that facilitates patient entry into treatment and uses collaborative strategies and interventions that engage all program and clinic services and staff, as well as community partners, to retain patients in care, promote adherence to antiretroviral treatment (ART), and achieve viral suppression. Expanded Partner Services Program (ExPS) uses HIV surveillance data to identify previously known HIV positive individuals who appear to be out-of-care in order to reengage them in medical care. The presumed out-of-care individuals are targeted with the specific objectives of reengaging these individuals in medical care and notifying and testing/treating partners. Anticipated to re-engage over 1,000 individuals to care annually by 2016. Positive Pathways, working with HIV-positive incarcerated persons to encourage the initiation of medical care and treatment for HIV during incarceration, and to ensure linkage to medical care and continued care and treatment for six months following release. This initiative also works to reduce HIV-related stigma through education and training of correctional officers, medical staff, and inmates. 55 The Investment $10 Million towards Ending the Epidemic services and expenses in the 2015-2016 Budget Article VII 2014 - 2015 Amendments • • • Elimination of written consent for HIV testing. Expand data sharing between state and local health departments and health care providers for linkage and retention efforts. Implementation of a “30% rent cap” affordable housing protection. Article VII 2015 - 2016 Amendments • • • Elimination of written consent for HIV testing in correctional facilities. Limiting the admission of condoms in criminal proceedings for misdemeanor prostitution offenses. Addressing the legality of syringes obtained through syringe exchange programs. 56 Ending the Epidemic Marketing Campaign Launched on March 16, 2015 ‘Get Tested. Treat Early. Stay Safe.’ The campaign is statewide and includes a variety of audio and print media health.ny.gov/ete 57 Implementation: AAC ETE Subcommittee AIDS Advisory Council (AAC) Ending the Epidemic (ETE) Subcommittee: The Subcommittee will ensure on-going formal involvement of the AAC in followup and recommendations on the implementation of the Ending the Epidemic Task Force (ETE TF) recommendations. 16 Members: The selection of members to the Subcommittee was conducted as part of the completion of the work of the ETE TF and is representative of each ETE TF Committee Co-Chairs: Charles King, President and CEO, Housing Works, Inc.

The diagrams will illustrate: • the strength of organizational relationships (none to strong) • linking and retaining patients in care Uses: Over time, • identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement (system, sub-systems) • peer exchange • identifying needs for TA and content and methodology for regional workshops 63 Part 1: Regional Service Map 30 minutes 1. There are four colors: Pink = Supportive Service Yellow = Testing Blue = Clinical Green = Other 2. Each agency writes its name on the appropriately colored circle. If there are several services within an agency, the agency can write its name on each of the designated color circles. 3. Each agency tapes its circle(s) on the flip chart paper. 4. Draw an arrow connecting your agency to those agencies that you have a linkage and retention relationship with (i.e. protocols in place, frequent referrals and follow up, etc.). An arrow in one direction means the communication is essentially in one direction. An arrow that goes in both directions means there is flow both ways. 5. Draw a dotted line to those agencies that you have a more informal relationship with and less frequent referrals. 6. If you work with an agency that is not here, add its name to a circle and tape it to the diagram. 64 Buffalo (WNY) Regional Group Service Map 65 Part 2: Present to the Group 10 minutes 1. Present your service diagram to the group. 2. The group makes observations, comments, suggestions. 66 Part 3: Brief Discussion 5 minutes Large group exchange: 1. Share your experience and observations in creating the diagram. Were there new insights? To what degree was there agreement? 2. What are some of your system’s strengths? Subsystems strengths? 3. Are there opportunities to strengthen your system? Sub-system? 4. What can you observe about your strategies for linking or retaining patients? 67 WORKING LUNCH: Building Collaborative Relationships Trends in HIV infection New York State and Long Island Presentation to: NYLinks Long Island Regional Group Carol-Ann Swain Bureau of HIV/AIDS Epidemiology AIDS Institute Presentation Outline HIV and AIDS in New York State (NYS) o NYS and Long Island Changes to how NYS counts cases of HIV and AIDS HIV care outcomes o NYS and regional Summary Trends in HIV and AIDS* New York State, 2002-2013 6,000 140,000 New HIV 5,000 People living with HIV 4,000 3,000 120,000 Number of PLWDHI Number of HIV Diagnoses and Deaths 7,000 100,000 80,000 Deaths among persons with HIV & AIDS People living with AIDS at end of year 2,000 1,000 60,000 40,000 20,000 0 0 200220032004200520062007200820092010201120122013 *Data as of April 2015.
