J. Acevedo stated that the state lost 5 closing the gap contracts. The Miami Area is to assist with ADAP Program.
The PPG is writing the plan National HIV Strategy, and funding may go to the larger areas. Smaller areas will not go without funding but funding will be possibly cut.
In June, Area 8 should consider a proposal for multicounty prevention. (Naples, Lee, Hendry and Glades)
Geographic vs. Urban area ay give Area 8 an opportunity to compete. PPG has not done their plan yet, and are waiting on the State Plan to see how Area 8’s plan will fit into it.
X. HRSA Report- P. Brown reported that a copy of the HRSA report was sent out via email with the RHAC materials by S. Barrows. The report is an opportunity of review to give insight on what is coming. As data is built use actionable data. Quality Management is important to do wait for state visit. Request regular dumps of data, ADAP is cooperating or freely sharing data. The Pharmacy is recommending take 38 ADAP positions and make 6 state positions instead. Pharmacy with ADAP Positions remain funded, Pharmacy with no ADAP positions remain un funded.
Review report and come up with strategy.
