  • Description:
    STYLE consists of 3 main elements: (1) a social marketing campaign to promote HIV testing among black or African American and Hispanic/Latino YMSM (YMSM of color); (2) intensified outreach to youth-serving venues for YMSM of color and increased provision of HIV testing on college campuses; and (3) a tightly coordinated medical -social support network for both recently diagnosed and lost -to-care HIV-positive YMSM of color. Once found HIV-positive through social marketing, referral, and outreach efforts, YMSM of co lor receive an appointment with a physician within 72 hours. In addition to routine HIV medical care overseen by a physician, HIV-positive YMSM of color are offered ancillary support services that includes weekly support group meetings and one -on-one phone or in person counseling by social worker if desired; case management; prevention, substance use, and mental health counseling; and assistance with appointment scheduling or medical questions by text and or phone. An individual treatment plan to address identified barriers is developed based on a comprehensive assessment of medical, physical, psychosocial, environmental, and financial needs.
