New York LINK
February and November 2003 Programs
CAI conducted two successful New York LINK training and resource exchange programs in February and in New York City. A total of XX international participants formed multidisciplinary teams of physicians, nurses and PWHAs from Barbados, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia and Trinidad & Tobago. The February 2003 program addressed the multidisciplinary approach to treatment and adherence and the November 2003 program focused on two main skills-building components: HIV testing and counseling and assessing readiness for treatment. Over 120 individuals from NYC agencies participated in site visits and additional exchange activities such as a networking reception, a Speak Out session on Traditional Beliefs and HIV, a clinical consult exchange session and a PWHA advocacy session. The NY LINK is co-sponsored by the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute, the New York City HIV Health and Human Services Planning Council, the US Department of State Bureau of Cultural and Educational Affairs and UNAIDS.April 2004 and March 2005 Programs
CAI conducted two successful New York LINK training and resource exchange programs in April 2004 and March 2005. The April 2004 program focused on two main skills-building components: HIV testing and counseling and assessing readiness for treatment and the March 2005 program addressed topics included HIV/AIDS Program Implementation and Management, Rapid Testing and Secondary Prevention. A total of XX international participants formed multidisciplinary teams of program directors, physicians, nurses and PWHAs from the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama and Peru. Over 120 individuals from NYC agencies participated in site visits and additional exchange activities. CAI also implemented a new on-line resource center intended for NY LINK international and NYC-based participants that we hope will foster and facilitate ongoing communication and exchange of news and resources. This distance learning tool includes a discussion board facilitated by the CAI training team within which monthly “hot topics” such as rapid testing have been discussed. These discussions led to the implementation of our first Virtual Classroom for NY LINK participants. The NY LINK is co-sponsored by the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute, the New York City HIV Health and Human Services Planning Council, the US Department of State Bureau of Cultural and Educational Affairs and UNAIDS.September 2005 Program
