The grant will fund projects focused on opt-out HIV testing, linkage to care and treatment, and behavioral interventions. Priority will be given to sites in high HIV prevalence areas serving at-risk populations. Applicants can apply for Part A for routine HIV testing integration or both Part A and Part B for enhanced linkage services with Ryan White-funded HIV medical sites. Successful applicants for Part B must collaborate closely with a Ryan White-funded HIV medical service site.

Priority for funding will be given to sitesin areas with high HIV prevalence and high numbers of at-risk clients.Successful applications will include documentation that reflects characteristics of servicesite(s) for which funding is requested, including whether a racial/ethnic minority population,demonstrated to be at high risk of HIV infection, comprises a significant proportion of the totalpopulation (>50%); the degree to which site(s) serve individuals, populations, or areas withdocumented need for HIV prevention services beyond basic HIV prevention education; and thedegree to which there are documented high or increasing rates of HIV, AIDS, and/or STIs withinthe service site target area. The facility should have an HIV prevalence rate at or above 0.1%,and optimally, a newly diagnosed (i.e., previously unaware of infection) HIV prevalence rate of>0.1%.This funding announcement includes two related components: 1) Part A ? ?IntegratingRoutine HIV Testing and Linkage to HIV Care and Treatment in Title X Family PlanningService Sites? and 2) Part B ? ?Enhanced, Bi-directional Linkage Services between Title XFamily Planning Service Sites and Ryan White-funded HIV medical service sites.?
