Health Education services are intended for short term group and individual sessions that focus on strategies for achieving positive health outcomes (i.e., viral suppression) independently. Sessions are curricula-based with an emphasis on basic HIV-related knowledge, treatment education, health literacy (e.g., understanding blood work results and treatment regimens, self-advocacy with medical providers), building support systems, and transmission prevention. Education and risk reduction services are structured to enhance the knowledge base, health literacy, and self-efficacy of HIV-infected persons in accessing and maintaining HIV medical services and staying healthy.
