From the Medical Director

We want your feedback!

Posted January 2012

Dear HIV/AIDS Clinician:

The New York State Department of Health HIV Quality of Care Program is pleased to introduce PozKit, the nation’s first online Prevention with Positives toolkit for HIV/AIDS clinicians. PozKit is part of our ongoing effort to provide HIV providers with valuable resources to help prevent new HIV infections, as well as protect New York State’s HIV-infected population from superinfection and STIs.

Supported by the Office of the Medical Director and developed under the guidance of the NYS HIV Quality of Care and Consumer Advisory Committees, PozKit provides clinicians with a centralized, easy-to-access website featuring current and valuable Prevention with Positives resources. Available information and tools cover topics such as suggested screening questions, motivational interviewing tips, quick reference guides, and links to other internet resources. The toolkit also addresses new prevention concerns, such as “safe –sex fatigue” and provides important links to resources on retention and care.

We hope PozKit will serve as a useful resource in your clinical practice and we look forward to your feedback.
