Description

The purpose of the NCCC program is to provide rapid, expert, and culturally competent clinical consultation and advice to health care team members on a wide range of HIV and HIV-related topics. The NCCC, using a combination of various funding sources, provides services through telephone-based warmlines, a hotline, and internet-based educational consultation services in the following clinical areas: • General HIV prevention, care, and treatment, including diagnosis, testing, and antiretroviral therapy. • Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). • Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). • Treatment and management of Hepatitis B and C and HIV coinfections. • Treatment and management of substance use disorders in people with or at risk for HIV. • Perinatal HIV care and management. The NCCC provides expert consultation that demonstrates an understanding of the HIV epidemic in a variety of locations including: • EHE jurisdictions. • Rural areas. • Areas disproportionately impacted by substance use disorders including opioid use disorder, and other co-morbidities. • Communities where a large number of the people with HIV identify as a non-white racial or ethnic group. The goals for the NCCC align with those of the RWHAP Part F AETC Program, which are: • Goal 1: Expand the number of health care team members providing HIV care and prevention services, including providers with different backgrounds or experiences. • Goal 2: Expand the ability of health care team members to provide effective HIV care and prevention services. • Goal 3: Improve health equity by integrating HIV care and prevention in primary care and other health care settings that provide services to underserved populations. • Goal 4: Enhance the capacity of the AETC Program to train health care team members to serve people at risk for or with HIV.
