HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, and if left untreated, can lead to AIDS (Fauci, 1988). Globally, 36.7 million people are living with HIV and 1.2 million are living with HIV in the United States. Over the last decade, the annual number of new HIV diagnoses decreased by 19%, and many health professionals and public health researchers attribute this to both awareness and prevention. Research shows that there is an economic benefit of preventing disease because it lowers healthcare costs (Hogg, Baskerville, & Lemelin, 2005). It has been found that for every HIV infection prevented, an estimated $355,000 is saved in the cost of providing lifetime HIV treatment (Benjamin, 2011). There is a national need for prevention of diseases such as AIDS to lower healthcare costs while improving the quality of people’s lives, and the 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA) responds to this need with its emphasis on disease prevention, improving access to coverage, ensuring quality coverage, and by enhancing the capacity of the healthcare delivery system (Koh & Sebelius, 2010).

This program provides prevention education and health care assistance for previously incarcerated people living with HIV/AIDS (Fortune Society, n.d).

Another health program provides mental health services. The services are offered through the Better Living Center (BLC) which is licensed by the New York State Office of Mental Health. The services include: walk-in services that offer assessment and referrals, behavioral health focused Alternative to Incarceration (ATI) programs, peer specialists, and mental health group (Fortune Society, n.d).

The knowledge I gained from this discussion and assignment for this BSN-level course helped me achieve the SLO of communicating and collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to provide client-centered care. HIV screening is incorporated into my hospitals admission questions. I first provide a handout to the patients about HIV testing and education, then I offer the HIV test to the patients and I document if they agree to be tested or decline. If the patient agrees, I communicate this to the MD, and obtain the labs. I use the knowledge I gained from this SLO when caring for actual patients with an HIV diagnosis. An HIV infected person with a compromised immune system is at risk for health issues. The immune system becomes more weakened, and

Counseling a client who has or is at high risk for HIV/AIDS is different from counseling other clients with addictive disorders because HIV/AIDS clients need flexibility due to the importance to public health of keeping them in substance abuse treatment; they are likely to continue to put others at risk if they leave treatment and resume injection or other drug usage. Also, clients with HIV/AIDS and substance abuse disorders need more than the typical physical examination and TB test. Lastly, counseling a client who is high risk for HIV/AIDS is different from counseling other clients with addictive disorders when it comes to institutional linkages and medical referrals. Generating medical referral networks or institutional linkages is vital and must be a top priority for anyone working with a person with

Some other recommendations that should be looked into were concerning the program duration. Interventions that are longer with varied formats that address multiple content areas would be most effective for the participants. Informing persons with HIV about the availability of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or nonoccupational postexposure prophylaxis (nPEP) for HIV-uninfected partners when indicated to reduce their risk of getting HIV could be another recommendation. The
