HIV prevention case management: Current practice and future directions

Prevention case management (PCM) for HIV is an intervention developed in the early 1990s by combining individual HIV risk-reduction interventions and case management. To learn about the practice of PCM, staff from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) interviewed staff at the 25 community based organizations directly funded by CDC to conduct PCM and visited seven of these agencies. Most of the programs (80 percent) served HIV-seropositive and HIV-seronegative people. Results indicated considerable variation iii the structure of PCM programs, the types of services, and the populations served.
