APLA’s Fuerza Positiva will focus on HIV-infected men (especially MSM), women and MTG Transgender of Mexican origin living in Los Angeles County, California. Using culturally appropriate models, the project will implement an intervention strategy comprised of: 1) identification and recruitment; 2) strength-based case management/patient navigation; and 3) social and emotional support. Fuerza Positiva will conduct outreach activities to reach the target populations of Mexican origin in Los Angeles County and deliver strength-based case management linkage services using the ARTAS model. The project will also provide culturally specific HIV care retention and support services using an adapted version of the Hermanos de Luna y Sol intervention for approximately 45% of all HIV-positive individuals identified through the program. Fuerza Positiva will also incorporate a comprehensive array of support services and programs to address structural, financial, personal, and cultural barriers to care, including individual and group mental health services; ongoing care coordination services; client-centered information and skill-building sessions; and expansion of APLA’s existing referral network to link both monolingual and bilingual persons of Mexican origin to a continuum of community-based care.
