What is HIV Navigation?
HIV Navigation is a service to assist out-of-care, HIV+ clients re/connect with HIV care and treatment. Navigators can
help clients access insurance, benefits, and other support services based on their individual needs. They usually offer
mobile services in the community for a limited period of time.
Who is considered “Out-of-care” for HIV?
• No visits with an HIV medical provider in the past 6 months and/or no appointments scheduled
• Not taking HIV meds (ART) or taking them inconsistently
