HIV Linkage to Care
Denver Public Health
Protocols and Procedures
A successful linkage to medical care is an on-going
process during which the client comes to assimilate
his/her HIV diagnosis, to understand the implications of
that diagnosis for self and others, to opt for appropriate
care and services, and to commit to a regimen that
enhances one’s own health and protects that of others.

COUNSELING SCRIPT
Note: Counseling script is meant as a guide for use with all Linkage to Care patients/clients, however it is written with emphasis on those newly identified as HIV positive. Content should be adapted, as appropriate, to each individual situation.
Visit 1: Initial Assessment
General Objective: During the first encounter with all new patients/clients, the LTC staff will make an initial assessment for care and service needs. Specific Objectives: Provide reassurance and support, Assess client’s emotional state and support system, Collect client’s contact information/demographics, Inform client in simple terms about what happens now, Set follow-up appointment.
During the initial visit with a newly diagnosed HIV positive client, it is important to remember that the client will probably be able to process limited information; consequently, that which is provided needs to be basic, simple, focused. It is essential to communicate to the newly diagnosed client a sense of reassurance and support; this is achieved both verbally and non-verbally through active listening, eye contact, and compassionate tone when speaking. It is equally important to assess the client’s emotional state, identify her/his support system, obtain contact information, set date/time for follow-up appointment and provide basic information to client.
The LTC staff will assess client’s emotional status and inquire about support network (family, friends, partners, etc.) that will be available in the coming hours/days.
The LTC staff will provide support and reassurance to newly diagnosed client.
The LTC staff will provide information about the subsequent steps that will be followed as the client moves into medical care. The LTC staff will also answer any questions that the client may have at this time.
Denver Linkage to Care
Linkage to Care – Protocol and Counseling Script 8
The LTC staff will obtain contact information and record it in the LTC electronic chart (Healthdoc).
A follow-up appointment will be made with the client to discuss the CD4 and viral load test results.
The client will be introduced to the state DIS representative. The CD4, Western Blot and viral load samples will be drawn, labeled and
sent for lab processing with completed requisition slips according to HIV lab protocol.
The LTC staff will enter information into the electronic charting system (Healthdoc).
The LTC staff will complete the Subjective Objective Assessment Plan (SOAP) / Progress Note.
Reaction: “Let’s talk a little about what you are feeling right now.”
What can you do to deal with your ______ (fear, anger, disappointment,
etc.)? Who can you talk to? What are you going to do when you leave here? Is there someone you can be with?
o Reinforce how normal any (and all) these reactions are. o Assess need for crisis intervention. o Identify client’s support network in the next 24 – 48 hours. o Explain briefly what will be happening next:
Blood Tests: additional lab tests Western Blot. CD4, viral load
Follow-up appointment
Blood Tests: “It is important to run some tests in order to better understand what the virus is doing and how your body is responding to the virus.”
A Western Blot is a confirmatory test which looks for the presence of
HIV antibodies in the blood. It is a required test to confirm the preliminary HIV results already obtained.
Denver Linkage to Care
Linkage to Care – Protocol and Counseling Script 9
A T-Cell or CD4 test will indicate your current level of T-Cells which are a type of cell the body uses to fight off infections.
A viral load test is designed to measure the amount of HIV virus in your body at this time.
Referrals: “The primary focus of meeting with you today is to make sure you have whatever you need to deal with receiving these positive results.” What can I help you with today?
o Doctor’s note? o Talking to partner/friend(s)/family? o Testing partner(s)? o What referrals do you need or will you need?
Mental Health / Emotional Support: “What kind support or assistance are you needing but not receiving at this time?”
How do drugs and alcohol impact your life? Offer Referrals:
o Support groups / Substance abuse programs? o Housing / job / transportation issues? o Individual counseling?
Prevention: “Let’s talk for a moment about the opportunities and responsibilities to prevent further transmission of HIV.”
What are some of the ways HIV is spread…? Do you understand the risk of transmission and re-infection? What can you do during the next couple weeks to eliminate or reduce the
risk of transmission to your partner(s)? What questions do you have…? Let me introduce you to CDPHE / DIS staff. S/he is someone who can assist
you with notifying and talking to your sexual and/or drug-use partners.

Protocol for Anonymous Testing
STANDARD POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Anonymous Testing in the STD Clinic through HIV Counseling and Testing Services (CTS)
Advise clients at the beginning of the pre-test counseling that:
a. Anonymous testing is only available to those clients who do not desire any additional STD screenings. If additional screenings are desired at the time of this visit, the HIV testing will be confidential.
b. If the results of anonymous testing for HIV are positive, then no additional lab work, except for the confirmatory Western Blot, will be done without the client providing personal identifying information.
If the client chooses to provide identifying information, then the anonymous testing registration will be converted to a confidential testing registration.

Linkage to Care – Appendix A: Code of Ethics 27
Code of Ethics for HIV & STD Prevention Providers
Appendix A
Code of Ethics for HIV & STD Prevention Providers (Adopted From Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment)
This Code of Ethics is intended to set a standard for exemplary conduct for paid staff and volunteers providing HIV prevention services, hereafter referred to as "HIV prevention practitioners." This Code is intended to outline the responsibilities of HIV prevention practitioners to the public at large, to their clients, and to their colleagues. This code is guided by core values and a commitment to honor, even at the sacrifice of personal advantage. It is divided into five key principles: non-discrimination, competence, integrity, relationships with clients, and confidentiality. 1) Non-Discrimination An HIV prevention practitioner shall not discriminate against clients or colleagues based on HIV serostatus, race, ethnicity, country of origin, age, gender, substance use, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, linguistics, disabilities, or geographic settings (including migrant, seasonal or resort workers). An HIV prevention practitioner should strive toward proficiency in regard to culture and other aspects of diversity. 2) Competence An HIV prevention practitioner shall adhere to approved standards of practice when implementing HIV prevention interventions and shall strive continually to improve personal competence and quality of service delivery. Competence is derived from a synthesis of training and experience. It begins with a mastery of knowledge and skill competencies. The maintenance of competence requires a commitment to learning and professional improvement and must be ongoing. a) An HIV prevention practitioner should be diligent and practice due care in providing HIV prevention services. Diligence involves rendering services in a careful and prompt manner, observing applicable technical and ethical standards.

Due care involves adequate planning and supervision of any activity for which they are responsible. b) An HIV prevention practitioner should recognize the limitations and boundaries of their competence and refrain from using techniques or offering services beyond their competence. Each practitioner is responsible for assessing his/her competence for the responsibilities assumed. c) When an HIV prevention practitioner is aware of unethical conduct or practice on the part of an agency or another practitioner, they have an ethical duty to report the conduct or practices to appropriate authorities. 3) Integrity To maintain and broaden public confidence, an HIV prevention practitioner should perform all responsibilities with the highest sense of integrity. Integrity can accommodate the inadvertent error and honest difference of opinion; it cannot accommodate deceit or subordination of principle. a) Personal gain and advantage should not subordinate service and public trust. b) An HIV prevention practitioner should conduct prevention activities fairly and accurately, resisting pressures to unduly censor or mislead. c) HIV prevention practitioners in positions of authority should exercise compassion and wisdom to prevent harm to those whom we are pledged to serve: people affected by, infected with, or at risk of being infected with HIV. d) An HIV prevention practitioner should not misrepresent, directly or by implication, professional qualifications or affiliations. e) An HIV prevention practitioner should not be associated directly or indirectly with services or products in a way that is misleading or incorrect. 4) Relationships with Clients Above all, HIV prevention practitioners should do no harm. Practices must be respectful and non-exploitative.

5) Confidentiality a) HIV-related confidential information (including HIV serostatus and other potentially sensitive information, etc.) that is acquired while rendering HIV prevention service must be safeguarded against disclosure, including - but not limited to - verbal or written disclosure, unsecured maintenance of records, or recording of an activity or presentation without appropriate releases or consent. Statute and regulations explicitly govern circumstances under which HIV-related information may be disclosed. Professional ethics or personal commitment to the preservation of trust may impose even stricter confidentiality guidelines than those reflected in the law. b) Where there is evidence of child or other abuse, an HIV prevention practitioner is expected to comply with statutory reporting requirements, which is governed by their professional affiliations. c) HIV prevention practitioners should develop and implement methods by which client confidentiality protections and rights are communicated and consent for the service is obtained. Such methods must be appropriate to the intervention type. 6) Other Professional Standards of Practice In some cases, HIV prevention practitioners have other professional affiliations (nursing, social work, psychology, etc.) that require adherence to a separate code of professional conduct. The five principles listed above are not intended to override such codes of professional conduct, but to augment them and provide insight into areas that are unique to the field of HIV prevention.
