Methods/Activities • Multidisciplinary Team Approach • 2009-A specific pap smear clinic HIV+ females • 2011- Utilized ARNPs & OB/GYN clinic for easier accessibility any day of the week • Clients who came for others services, were able to be seen on as a walk-in to receive their annual pap smear screen. • On clinic days, if screening is identified as a need, client can be immediately referred to Pap Clinic
