Linkage and re-linkage to care

EHE is helping us expand our ability to help people diagnosed with HIV in King County get connected to HIV care or re-connected if they’ve fallen out of care.

Pharmacy-Based PrEP

EHE supports King County pharmacies in implementing strategies to promote and increase access to PrEP for people at risk for HIV.

Support Health Systems' Responses to Syndemics

EHE is working with health systems to increase their capacity to address the syndemics of HIV, Hepatitis C, and other sexually transmitted infections (specifically syphilis) and respond to emergent infections that also disproportionately affect populations at risk for HIV, such as MPox.
