Peer Support for Individuals Newly Diagnosed with HIV in Emergency Departments

This opportunity seeks support for establishing and delivering peer support networks that assist individuals during the critical time immediately following a new HIV diagnosis, particularly within emergency department settings. The program aims to connect newly diagnosed patients with trained peer supporters who have lived experience with HIV, providing emotional support, practical guidance, and community connection during this vulnerable period. The peer support initiative helps reduce isolation, improve health outcomes, and facilitate better engagement with ongoing medical care and social services. Suppliers should be experienced in peer-led health interventions, HIV support services, or community health programs with demonstrated ability to train and supervise peer supporters in clinical environments.
