Fortune uses a holistic and integrated approach to serving formerly incarcerated men and women living with HIV/AIDS, helping to ensure their safe and healthy transition back into the community.
We began providing HIV/AIDS-specific case management in 1990 in response to the high rates of HIV found among the criminal justice population. Our program has evolved significantly over the years, and currently offers a full continuum of HIV/AIDS-specific services to currently and formerly incarcerated individuals, including outreach, HIV-specific case management, supportive counseling and treatment adherence. Linkage to appropriate health care services upon release helps prevent the reentry transition from destabilizing our clients’ health or treatment adherence, significantly improves their quality of life, and supports their progress towards self-sufficiency.
