About The Position

ONLY PERMANENT EMPLOYEES IN THE TITLE AND THOSE THAT ARE REACHABLE ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGER CIVIL SERVICE LIST ARE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY. Division/Program Summary: The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC Health Department)'s Bureau of Hepatitis, HIV, & STIs (BHHS) oversees the City's response to viral hepatitis, HIV, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Across a range of programs and through extensive collaboration with other parts of NYC Health Department and external stakeholders, BHHS leads testing initiatives; prevention, care, and treatment programming; epidemiology and surveillance; research and evaluation; training and technical assistance; community engagement; social marketing; policy advocacy; and racial equity and social justice initiatives. The mission of the HIV program is to end HIV transmission, promote the health of all New Yorkers with or vulnerable to HIV, reduce HIV-related inequities and combat stigma. The HIV program’s ACE (Assess. Connect. Engage.) Team is responsible for providing linkage to care and partner services to New Yorkers with a new HIV diagnosis, including the identification, tracing, notification and HIV-testing of their sex and needle-sharing partners. ACE staff ensure that all newly HIV-diagnosed persons are linked to HIV clinical care. Each year, ACE staff reaches out to approximately 3,000 people with HIV (PWH) in NYC and appear not in care, an approach known as Data to Care (D2C). ACE staff trace the not-in-care people, and when found, connect them with HIV clinical care providers. ACE staff assesses all clients for unmet needs or for any additional medical and supportive services (e.g., Hepatitis C, sexually transmitted infections, housing, and nutrition) and connects them with appropriate clinical and social services providers.
