I commend Transitions Clinic in their approach and dedication to reach the "former prisoner". It is a missing facet in much of our HIV/AIDS prevention and education endeavors. I hope other AOC's and clinics will offer this type of outreach.
This is a long-awaited, much needed service. This population is in need of sensitive professional providers to assist them in obtaining apropriate health care, housing, and many other services they need. Transition should be as smooth for the exoffender as any other citizen and their needs addressed in the same professional, sensitive manner.
What a great idea! I can only imagine how difficult it must be to be POZitive in prison. Not only can you not talk about it, but I'm sure the treatment and support are pretty non exsistent. I am in southern CA, and if I could do anything to help as far as volunteer, please let me know. Please do a follow up on this story, and let us know how the program is working. Thank You, Brad S.

Great Article and service for a population. A recent MPH student, I've been learning of the difficulties men/women have with obtaining healthcare and building self effecacy outside of prison. This service is a great step in the right direction. The one mans comment, he feels like the health care is the same as the President. WOW, thats powerful.
