Status Neutral Systems
This committee is focused on a status-neutral approach to HIV care, which means the same approach of initial engagement happens with all people, regardless of HIV status. It all starts with an HIV test. Any result, positive or negative, kicks off further engagement with the healthcare system, leading to a common final goal, where an HIV infection doesn’t occur.
Co-Chairs: Kevin Anderson, Amy Leonard, Oscar Perez

Co-Chairs: Kevin Aloysius, Chelsea Frand, Kendrick Clack
