The Goal of HIV Care
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program funds medical and support services for people living with HIV who are uninsured or underinsured and have income at or below 500% of the Federal Poverty Level, regardless of a person's ability to pay. All funded services support the HIV Care Continuum - the series of steps a person with HIV takes from initial diagnosis through their successful treatment with HIV medication:
- Diagnosed with HIV
- Linked to care
- Engaged or retained in care
- Prescribed Antiretroviral Therapy
- Achieved viral suppression

Quality Management
Our mission is to continuously improve the care and health outcomes among People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in the Charlotte TGA.
Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is an ongoing process of monitoring and evaluating activities and outcomes in order to continuously improve service delivery. CQI seeks to prevent problems and to maximize the quality of care.
We strive to improve health outcomes, reduce health disparities, and increase access to and retention in care for PLWHA.
Our work isn't possible without input and expertise from Consumers (People Living with HIV) and Providers of HIV services.
Our Quality Management Volunteer Ambassadors collaborate to:
- Collect and evaluate Consumer Satisfaction surveys;
- Establish and monitor Performance Measures to support high quality HIV care;
- Set expectations for Service Standards with our partners in the Ryan White Planning Body; and
- Develop and revise the Quality Management Plan.
