Tender summary
The OC Health Care Agency (HCA) is seeking applications from licenses hospital emergency departments to develop practical and sustainable protocols to initiate Rapid Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) for people newly diagnosed with HIV or re-engaging in care. Rapid Antiretroviral Therapy (Rapid ART) Protocol Development is intended to support the development of practical, evidence-based protocols that improve linkage to care for individuals newly diagnosed with HIV and people living with HIV (PLWH) who are re-engaging in care. This RFA solicits protocol development and implementation planning, not direct clinical service delivery. The goal of this opportunity is to increase and streamline linkage to HIV care in emergency settings by developing a feasible workflow and protocols for providing ART within seven (7) days of diagnosis, disclosure, or re-engagement. Selected applicants will collaborate with the HCA to design patient-centered procedures that can be integrated into existing clinical operations, reduce delays to treatment, and improve patient outcomes. As of 2024, there were 6,955 PLWH in Orange County who are aware of their HIV status and an estimated 1,706 individuals who remain unaware of their infection. In 2024, 230 individuals in Orange County were newly diagnosed with HIV, and 56 (24%) were concurrently diagnosed with AIDS, indicating prolonged undiagnosed infection prior to testing. Among all PLWH aware of their status, 72.1% achieved viral suppression which is crucial for maintaining health and preventing the transmission of HIV. Additionally, 78.2% received HIV care, and 57.0% were retained in care. For additional local surveillance data, please visit: OChealthinfo.com.
