Coleman Terrell of the Philadelphia Department of Public Health presented on the PDPH's HIV Prevention Activities at the Philadelphia HIV Prevention Planning Group's December 2014 meeting.
The intersection of opioid use and HIV is well documented. More than one-third of all AIDS cases in the U.S. are directly or indirectly linked to injection drug use. Additionally, dependence and abuse of pain relievers is on the rise; people living with HIV/AIDS who suffer from chronic pain may be at particular risk. Opioids are highly addictive and mortality among illicit opioid users is estimated at 13 times that of the general population. The SPNS Buprenorphine Initiative investigated the effectiveness of integrating buprenorphine opioid abuse treatment into HIV primary care settings.
This Webcast is the first in a series under the new SPNS Integrating HIV Innovative Practices project (www.careacttarget.org/ihip) to assist providers in replicating SPNS work in their sites. This Webcast will introduce providers to the SPNS Buprenorphine Initiative, its findings, its synergy with the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, and provide an overview of opioid use and HIV.
The subsequent Webcast in the series will examine the clinical aspects of buprenorphine therapy, best practices, and implementation guidance. See also Integrating Buprenorphine Therapy Into HIV Primary Care Settings, a monograph on best practices, available at: https://careacttarget.org/content/integrating-buprenorphine-therapy-hiv-primary-care-settings.

CHAPTER 1 SEMESTER V - ROLE OF PEADIATRIC NURSE.pdf
Ccih 2014-fp-integration-jennifer-mason
1. The Nuts and Bolts of FP/HIV Integration:
Promising Practices and Technical
Considerations
Christian Connections for International Health Conference
Sunday, June 22, 2014
Jennifer Mason
USAID Office of Population and Reproductive Health
2. Overview of Presentation
• USG Rationale and Guiding Principles for FP/HIV
• FP/HIV integration approaches and models
• Programming considerations for specific populations
• Country examples
• Promising practices
• Technical Considerations
• Resources
3. Why Support FP/HIV Integration?
FP/HIV Integration assists the US Government to:
• Meet clients’ rights and needs for comprehensive health services
o Access to a full range of FP services and information is critical for
individuals to exercise their reproductive health rights.
o USG is committed to meeting the reproductive health needs of PLHIV
and those at risk of HIV.
o Ensure PLHIV have access to family planning counseling and services
and safe pregnancy counseling through the integration of FP services
into all PEPFAR prevention, care, and treatment programs.
• Achieve global FP, HIV and MCH objectives
• Leverage USG comparative advantages in FP and HIV
• Practice good public health by using evidence based approaches to
achieve improved health outcomes through FP and HIV platforms
4. 1. HIV-positive individuals should be provided with information on, and be able to
exercise voluntary choices about their health, including their reproductive health.
2. The USG, including PEPFAR, supports a person‘s right to choose, as a matter of
principle, the number, timing, and spacing of their children, as well as use of family
planning methods, regardless of HIV/AIDS status.
3. Family planning use should always be a choice, made freely and voluntarily,
independent of the person‘s HIV status.
4. The decision to use or not to use family planning should be free of any
discrimination, stigma, coercion, duress, or deceit and informed by accurate,
comprehensible information and access to a variety of methods.
5. Access to and provision of health services, including antiretroviral treatment, for an
HIV-positive person should never be conditioned on that person's choice to accept
or reject any other service, such as family planning (other than what may be
necessary to ensure the safe use of antiretroviral treatment).
6. HIV-positive women who wish to have children should have access to safe and non-
judgmental pregnancy counseling services.
Guiding Principles for USG FP/HIV Programs
5. USG Interagency Activities
• Established the USG Interagency FP/HIV
Task Force
• 2013-2014 PEPFAR FP/HIV Acceleration
Initiative
o $25M for five countries: Malawi,
Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia
o $1.97M for headquarters country
support and evaluation activities
• Develop technical resources and
programming guidance and tools
• Provides technical assistance to USAID,
CDC and DoD FP/HIV programs
6. FP/HIV integration approaches and models
• FP/HIV integration service delivery platforms include
• HIV
• Family Planning
• Maternal Child Health
• Models of integrated FP and HIV services:
o Co-located services at the same service delivery point - one
provider (e.g. HIV provider counsels and provides FP methods)
o Referrals within same health facility - multiple providers (e.g.
internal referral system within same service delivery site)
o External referral network between health facilities
• Health Systems Strengthening
• Supply chain, training, enabling environment activities
• Social Behavior Change Communication
• Community engagement and demand generation
8. Programming for Specific Populations
• Women of reproductive age
• PLHIV
• Other women at risk of HIV
• Key populations
• Sex workers
• Female drug users
• Youth
• Couples
• Sero discordant couples
• Male engagement
9. USAID/Uganda

(MSU) and EGPAF coordinate their
activities to provide FP to HIV
clients at public health centers.

group counseling together to
receive healthy behavior
messages, including FP and

Marie Stopes Tanzania mobile clinical
outreach site, includes HCT services

16. Promising Practices
Promising practices for improving FP and HIV outcomes
• “One-stop shop” service delivery
• Dedicated FP providers in HIV sites
• Facilitated referrals
• Sensitizing FP providers to PLHIV and Key Population needs
• Integrated community health outreach
• HIV CHWs delivering ART and FP
• FP CBDs providing VCT
• Community based activities
• Demand generation for FP integrated with HIV
communication efforts
• FP integration into home based care for PLHIV
• Integrating FP services into existing Key Populations platforms
• Training HIV providers to act as FP Champions
17. Promising Practices (3)
• Integration of FP into PMTCT settings
• FP education in ANC sites
• Provision of post partum family planning for PLHIV
• Utilizing Option B+ platform to maximize window of opportunities for
FP counseling and method provision
• Integration of FP into HIV treatment settings
• Provision of FP services, including methods
• Designated FP provider model for high volume sites
• Integration of FP into VMMC settings
• Sensitizing males to FP
• Leverage resources to expand FP information and counseling
• Supply Chain
• Integrating FP and HIV supply chains systems and LMIS
• Monitoring and Evaluation
• Integrating FP indicators into HIV HMIS to capture achievements and
have better FP data on PLHIV
18. Technical Considerations
• No “one-size fits all” approach; country context important
• FP services in an FP/HIV integrated site should be of the same
quality as in a traditional FP/RH services.
• Provision of FP methods is not the always the best approach;
consider referrals
• Ensure programmatic activities are in line with USG compliance
requirements
• QUALITY OF CARE!
• Ensuring method mix (especially LARCs)
• Informed choice for PLHIV
• Strengthen post partum FP within PMTCT
• Ensure that FP is part of the key population prevention and
continuum of care package
19. Technical Considerations (2)
• Safe pregnancy services for PLHIV – counseling and care
services should be part of comprehensive FP/HIV integration
package
• Consider FP integration in design and roll out of Option B+
• VMMC – is VMMC a good integration platform?
• Consider HC-HIV issues
• Consider the costs of integrated services
• Ensure availability of FP commodities in HIV settings as needed
• Track FP outcomes in HIV sites
