The primary objective of the United States is to improve HIV prevention in communities with high prevalence. These communities typically endure stigma and isolation, especially the black community. This encompasses black men, women, youth aged 13 to 24, gay and bisexual men, and transgender women who are black. The strategy prioritizes these susceptible populations.
Efforts to address HIV prevention in high-risk areas and communities may be hindered by the fear of stigmatization and alienation. This can ultimately lead to poorer outcomes in preventing new infections. To prevent stigmatization, it is important for the National AIDS Strategy not to overly prioritize specific communities. Additionally, focusing too heavily on HIV prevention efforts targeted towards blacks and Latinos could exacerbate racism in certain regions. This could further contribute to the perception of these communities as a "sick race," resu

The link between people and care after diagnosis is not sufficient to ensure continued treatment and the full benefits of early treatment and reduced risk of transmission. To address this, medical assistance programs should be established to assist individuals with covering the costs of care and treatment. Without such support, many people are likely to discontinue care due to financial constraints.
The objective of this phase is to reintegrate individuals who were previously diagnosed with HIV but have lost contact. It should be noted that this phase targets not only recently diagnosed individuals, thus increasing the difficulty in finding and reconnecting with those who were previously diagnosed with HIV. As a nurse, where do you think your influence can make the biggest difference an
why? In my opinion, I believe I can make the greatest impact in Step 2C. This step focuses on improving healthcare accessibility and enhancing health outcomes for people living with HIV through coordinated patient-centered care, a role that nurses are crucially involved in.
In this care model, collaboration occurs among practitioners, patients, and their families to fulfill the requirements and desires of patients. As a nurse, my role would involve organizing non-medical support and aid for individuals living with HIV. This encompasses offering advice on disease management through nutrition and exercise. Moreover, I would promote family-centered care and involve those with HIV in efforts to prevent post-traumatic stress disorder and partner violence. These circumstances can detrimentally affect adherence to treatment plans and overall stability in healthcare delivery, leading to unfavorable consequences.
My objective as a nurse is to enhance the health outcomes of individuals living with HIV by offering comprehensive care.
