When people living with HIV are connected to care and take prescribed HIV medications, they can lower their viral load (or the amount of HIV present in their blood) so much that the virus is undetectable and cannot pass through sex. That means they can live long and healthy lives. It also protects the health of their sexual partners.
If you are a person living with HIV, CDPHE can assist you to live a long and healthy life with the following services:
A Linkage to Care Specialist (LTCS) connects people with a new HIV-positive diagnosis or HIV-positive people currently not receiving care to the appropriate medical care that they need. They help clients understand what their status means for themselves and others, and to commit to a lifestyle that enhances their health and protects that of others.
What is Linkage To Care?
Linkage To Care (LTC) is an ongoing process where professionals help people with a new HIV diagnosis or people living with HIV and currently out of care navigate the early stages of treatment.

- If you can receive assistance with Medicaid, you must verify that you have applied for that program. (You may receive temporary access to our uninsured program while this application is pending.)
- If you can receive insurance through your employer, a COBRA policy, or Connect for Health Colorado, you'll need to be enrolled in Colorado SDAP’s Health Insurance Assistance Program (HIAP).
- You'll receive assistance in paying the costs of enrolling in this insurance.
- If you're eligible for Medicare, you'll also need to join SDAP’s "Bridging the Gap Colorado" plan for help with the costs of prescription premiums and related co-payments.
- If you have Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid program), the Supplemental Wrap-Around Program (SWAP) can help cover the copays on your SDAP formulary medicine.
- If you can't access any other insurance, you'll be enrolled in the HIV Medication Assistance Program (HMAP).
Renewals
