a collaborative partnership approach between community based organization(s) and local health or social service provider(s); coalitions and support groups for HIV infected women; and gender-specific and culturally appropriate approaches.
B.

Develop a model plan to outreach to HIV positive women by coordinating with existing local providers and recruiting women to participate in building social networks, support groups, or coalitions.

Coordinate HIV counseling and testing for women whose HIV status is unknown and link women who test HIV positive to medical care and other services.
Conduct local evaluation of performance activities.
The objectives of the OWH program are to:
1. Increase access to quality care and treatment for women living with HIV infection.
