County accepts $378,721 state grant to reengage people living with HIV
Summary
The committee approved a one-year grant from the New York State Department of Health’s AIDS Institute to fund public health investigators who locate out-of-care people living with HIV and notify and test their partners.
The Health and Mental Health Committee accepted and appropriated a $378,721 grant from the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute (contract period 04/01/2025–03/31/2026) to fund the county’s expanded partner services program.
County presenters said the Expanded Partner Services (EXPS) grant funds public-health investigators who attempt to reengage people living with HIV who are thought to be out of care and to notify and test their partners so they can be linked to treatment. The committee approved the award by voice vote (legislative request number 134).
Presenters did not report changes to program design or eligibility; usual grant reporting requirements to the state will apply.
