• Description:
  RAPID (Rapid ART Program for Individuals with an HIV Diagnosis) is a health system intervention to facilitate ART initiation as soon as possible after diagnosis by addressing structural barriers. RAPID comprises several components: 1) a same-day appointment with an on-call HIV specialty physician or nurse practitioner and taxi vouchers for immediate transportation from the testing site to the clinic; 2) a same-day appointment that includes education efforts conducted by a prescribing health care professional regarding HIV infection, risk reduction and sexual health, and benefits of ART; an assessment for contraindications to ART; an explanation of options for a patient to decline treatment; and baseline lab work; 3) an accelerated insurance approval process; 4) pre-approved ART regimens that can be used without the results from genotyping or laboratory testing; 5) 5- day starter pack for each regimen to initiate ART provided to those without immediate insurance coverage; 6) an offer of the first dose to be given in the office with provider support; 7) and a telephone follow-up by a nurse within the first 7 days. The initial followup visit is scheduled between 1 to 7 days, depending on the provider assessment
