Formal Linkages

These linkage tools help agencies assess, develop, implement, and monitor linkages with other organizations that are either part of the HIV care continuum and/or key points of entry into the health care system for people living with HIV.

Below are a series of facts sheets and worksheets to help organizations develop effective linkages and referral systems. The fact sheets provide general knowledge about key topics. The worksheets each have two components. The first, in PDF format, provides guidance on how to complete key phases in the linkage process and the second, in Word format, provides electronic documents that you can use within your organizations to complete the task outlined in the corresponding PDF document.

Planning Council Recruitment and Retention

These fact sheets will assist grantees in evaluating the ways in which they recruit and retain planning council members and provide suggested methods to improve recruitment, retention, and overall planning council effectiveness.

Technical Assistance Tools

These tools were developed by HRSA and CARE Act grantees to assist grantees in areas where they may need additional guidance, such as outcomes evaluation, needs assessment, unmet need, and integration of HIV prevention and care services.
