Technical Assistance Program
Our Technical Assistance Program aims to help organizations who are new to the HIV field and/or are considering developing programs to address HIV in their community. We hope that we can help organizations think about ways to engage their community through highlighting the experiences of other organizations engaging in similar activities, offering promising practices designed to address the needs of particular communities, and increasing knowledge regarding important HIV policy concerns in North Carolina.
Below you will find our policy White Papers, Promising Practice, Links to key organizations, and a calender of important events.
White Paper
Our most recently written document on the North Carolina AIDS Drug Assistance Program provides background information on the origins of the program, and how the ADAP crisis has come about. It describes different strategies to manage ADAPs, as described by the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors and demonstrated in other states. It offers possible ways forward to forestall further funding issues the North Carolina ADAP may face in the future.
