HIV/AIDS Services

Whole-Person Support

Our HIV/AIDS supports foster a feeling of safety and comfort—a welcoming environment that can be rare for people living with HIV/AIDS. All direct care services are offered in both English and Spanish (LanguageLine for other languages), and are free of charge to most New Hampshire community members who earn incomes at or below 500% of the Federal Poverty Level.


Our Services

  • Medical Case Management, Housing, & More: At the heart of our program, our experienced case managers link clients with healthcare, housing, all Harbor Care services, as well as transportation services and healthy food through our pantry. We may also extend emergency rent and utility payment assistance to those who qualify to prevent homelessness.

  • Peer Support Services: We host groups and provide one-on-one support for individuals living with HIV/ AIDS.

  • Prevention Services are provided for those newly diagnosed or at-risk, including partner testing, as well as PrEP and PEP medications.


Overcoming HIV/AIDS

New Hampshire is on a path to end the spread of HIV/AIDS. Treatment regimens can be difficult; however, when people with HIV are able to maintain their medication, the virus becomes undetectable in their blood, making it impossible to transmit through sexual contact. 

This is why we need to make sure everybody with HIV has a home. If someone is homeless, maintaining treatment is extremely difficult…and if somebody is struggling to afford treatment, they may be at-risk of homelessness. Our HIV/AIDS pathway of services helps keep everyone in our community stable, safe, and healthy. 

Impact

Harbor Care predates the HIV epidemic. The courage of our clients and the compassion of our community in the face of HIV/AIDS over the last several decades has been extraordinary. Today, we can house all individuals with HIV/AIDS in our community. Nearly all clients maintain viral suppression, which keeps themselves and the community safe. See our Impact page.

We look forward to guiding New Hampshire to the end of its HIV/AIDS epidemic.
